Windows 10: Highlighter option not work on Snipping Tool windows 11

There seems to be a dotted line across the highlighter icon, that was not there before when my computer was updated to Windows 11. When I hover over the highlighter, it says "see more." If I hover over the pen, it says "ballpoint pen" so hovering over the highlighter should say "highlighter" or something similar. I've tried uninstalling, terminating, repairing, resetting, and nothing has worked.

snipping tool

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:

• Windows Push Notifications System Service
  
• Windows Push Notifications User Service
  

 

Snipping Tool will not work (Windows 11)

Hi.
When I attempt to use the snipping tool (Windows key + Shift + S), nothing happens.
I have checked the internet for suggested solutions (of which there are about 11) and applied most of them; the only thing I didn't try was to revert to a previous Windows version but I'm not going to do that. This problem began following the recent Windows 11 update to Version 21H2.

I am using:
Windows 11 Home
Version 21H2
OS Build 22000, 1098

No updates are pending.

The snipping tool is a critical tool so it's broken functionality causes significant problems. So far, I have not found any snipping app that usefully replace the snipping tool.

I'd be grateful for a solution.

(PS, I have no idea which "Product" Option is the correct choice to direct this post to the correct Microsoft Community!!! "Internet Explorer" seems the least ridiculous response but I have Version 11 on Windows 11 and the Windows Version list does not offer a windows 11 option. Why is this so difficult? This problem presumably has nothing to do with Microsoft Edge,the "Product" I selected where asked below, as it is not in use though it is installed.)

 

Snipping tool not working

I'm trying to use the Snipping Tool (Windows+Shift+S) but when it opens up to let me select which part of the screen to select, it blanks out the entire screen so that there is nothing to select. I'm not sure when this stopped working since I do not use it very often. I'm using:

• Edition Windows 11 Pro
  
• Version 21H2
  
• Installed on ‎11/‎6/‎2021
  
• OS build 22000.613
  
• Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.613.0
  
• The Snipping Tool shows version 11.2201.12.0
  

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!
