Windows 10: How can I make the crosshair in Snip & Sketch more visible?

When activating Snip & Sketch the grey coloured crosshair for selecting square areas to be snipped is barely visible against the darkened background. This makes is difficult to quickly locate the crosshair and draw the selection. Is there any setting for the app that could make the crosshair, say, yellow or light green?

Using W10 on Surface Book 2.

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.

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
