Windows 10: Apparent Change in Behavior of "Snip & Sketch" after Windows Update 2004

With the "Snip & Sketch" utility in Windows 10, there are two ways to capture a screenshot for pasting into a document.

1. Open "Snip & Sketch" and select "New", then click the "Copy" icon and paste into the document.

2. Press "Windows Key + Shift + S" to capture the screenshot and then paste into the document.


Those two ways still work in "Snip & Sketch" after the Windows 10 2004 update, but what is pasted appears different in the two methods.


With method 1, the pasted screenshot is the same size as the original.

With method 2, the pasted screenshot is larger than the original.


The two examples are shown below. How can I get the "Windows Key + Shift + S" to capture and paste the same size as the original?

Snip & Sketch - Does not take snip after selection

I have used Snip & Sketch for a long time without problem. A day ago I brought it up, selected a part of the screen, released the mouse key, and nothing happened. The screen was still grayed out and the selection was still on the screen. I can click on
another part of the screen and the selection will go away but there is nothing in the clipboard.

Have tried the following so far.

1. Installed all patches with Windows Update
2. Rebooted
3. Uninstalled Snip & Sketch and Reinstalled
4. Run Windows App Trouble Shooter
5. Reset Windows Store via Powershell
6. Set Auto copy to clipboard to On
7. Tried other selection types (line, window, full screen)
8. Turned on Save Snips but no option to save file after snip
9. Saw an option to created a new Windows account but that would be a pretty big deal to lose all my current settings and security.

Any other suggestions?

 

Snip and Sketch Awkward

Use Windows+shift+s to launch Snip and Sketch. Can snip a screenshot.

Now the problem is this: after snipping the screen shot, it does not automatically appear in the Snip and Sketch app. So I open Snip and Sketch and there's nothing on it.

So I have choose 'new' and snip the screen yet again.

I recall using this once and taking a screenshot and voila! Snip and Sketch appeared with the screen shot duly in the app's workspace, ready for annotations and saving etc. This facility has disappeared. I have re-set it according to instructions, and even
reinstalled it - yet the problem persists.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

 

Snip & sketch

Hello FrankEngstrom,

Thank you for updating me that information. If you mean the snip and sketch? Based on your description the snipping tool is crashing?

Please try to reset Snip and Sketch

Press Start then search Apps and Features

Select Snip and Sketch on the list

Click Terminate then Reset

If it doesn't work, Please try to create a new administrator account then check if everything is working.
