Windows 10: Can you change Snipping Tools default external editor from Paint to another app?

Can you change Snipping Tools default external editor from Paint to another app?

Paint and Snipping Tool both not working in Win 11

Version: 10.0.22621 Build 22621

Both paint and snipping tool aren't working for me. When I launch them they pop up in Task Manager for a second then disappear. I've tried repairing, resetting, and reinstalling them but they still don't work.

I tried restarting and Snipping Tool didn't work, but then it started working for a few minutes after second restart. But after while, it stopped working again.

For Snipping Tool, I've also tried the suggestion to change your default apps in the settings, but there's no other option for me to choose unlike what was proposed in the suggested fix. I've also tried changing the notification settings for Snipping Tool and turning Do Not Disturb on and off.

I tried just using print screen and pasting the screen into Paint to select a small section that I wanted, but then found out that even paint won't launch. Photos launches though. Not sure what is going on.

 

Snipping tool - change default back to save as jpg.

On a new computer with Windows 10, the snipping tool's default is to save as a png file. I save all my snips as jpg files. It is a pain to have to change each one I save. Is there a way to change the default to save as jpg. I have looked to try to
change the default settings, but snipping tool is not on that list.

Please try this:

Step 1:

Click Start, and type Snipping Tool.

Right-click Snipping Tool from the search results, and click App Settings

Click Reset,

Click Repair.

Note: In Windows 11, there is no Snip and Sketch. It comes pre-installed with the new Snipping Tool (which replaces the old Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch apps)

Step 2:

Turn off Focus assist if it's enabled

Step 3:

Open Services.msc and make sure that the following services are set to "Automatic" and running:
