Windows 10: How do I get Snip and Sketch to go fullscreen like ScreenSketch used to?

So my computer recently got updated and it changed my Windows Ink Workspace. The update got rid of sketchpad and screensketch and replaced it with the two new cumbersome variants. I was able to uninstall as much of the new updates as possible and got back my sketchpad app, but I'm still stuck with the snip and sketch. I want to know if there is a way to make snip and sketch go full screen like screensketch used to, or if there is away to get the old screensketch back, or if there is a comparable third party app.

:)

Snip & Sketch has not installed


Hi and thanks for the reply. Two of them are Windows Home, two of them are Windows Pro. It installed as an update on three of them, but one of the Windows Pro it did not. They are all 1809.

The are not administered by an IT department.

When I hit Snip & Sketch I get a window that says the snipping tool is moving. However, when I "Try Snip & Sketch" all I get is a box that states "you'll need a new app to open this ms-screensketch".

When I type it in the search box it says it's there, but clicking on it does nothing at all. No error, no nothing!

I have compared this PC with another one running W10Pro and they seem identical. However, the ScreenSketch app is completely missing on the one PC. It just seems that it hasn't installed. I have checked the install programs list using CCleaner and it just isn't there. Nothing. Nill!

The system seems to have been updated for it ( it does seem to know about it ) but the actual app is missing.

Hi Daseril

My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

You will need to do two steps.

1. Click the Windows Ink Workspace icon in the Taskbar

Click Fullscreen snip

2. Press Windows key + A

Toggle on Tablet Mode

Outside of this, there really isn't an option for a true full screen mode you are seeking.

I would also recommend you submit a feature request; send me the short link so I can vote on it and bring it to the attention of the Windows engineers.
