How to Enable or Disable Single Window Mode in Snip & Sketch app in Windows 10
Starting with Windows 10 version 1809, also known as "October 2018 Update", Microsoft implemented a new option - screen snipping. A new Snip & Sketch app has been added to Windows 10 to quickly snip and share a screenshot. The recent update adds single window mode to the Snip & Sketch app in Windows 10. Here's how to enable or disable it.

Using the new Screen Snip tool, you can capture a rectangle, snip a freeform area, or take a full screen capture, and copy it directly to the clipboard. Immediately after taking a snip you’ll now get a notification that will take you and your snip to the Screen & Sketch app where you can annotate and share away. Screenshots can be opened in the Screen & Sketch app, which adds extra options like Ink Color and Delay. It allows adding annotations using a pen, touch, or mouse. The images can be shared with other apps. The following article covers various methods you can use to launch the Screen Snip tool:

A new version of the app was shipped with the recently released Fast Ring build 18950 of Windows 10. Build 18950 includes Snip & Sketch version 10.1907.2064.0, which introduced a number of changes. The New button now opens new snips in your current app window, so you don’t end up with a ton of open snips that you then need to close. If you’d rather keep all snips open in separate windows, the option is now a toggle in settings, so you can decide which mode you prefer.

single window mode is a disaster; very difficult to turn off
Every new and clever feature cause more damage than good/
Microsoft has way too many developers, and not enough QA
It appears this option to turn on/off multiple windows has been removed (August 2020)
It works very poorly on extended monitors. Frustrating.
