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:

Disable Snipping Tool

Hi,

From the above description I understand you'd like to disable the snipping tool.

If you have a Pro/Enterprise edition, you should be able to do this via group policy.

Let’s follow below mentioned steps and check if that helps:



1. Type gpedit.msc in Cortana and press Enter to open Local Group Policy Editor.

2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Windows Components > Tablet PC > Accessories > double click
Do not allow Snipping Tool to run.

3. Select Enabled and then click OK.



If you enable this policy setting, the Snipping Tool will not run.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Alby
