Windows 10: How to fix broken emoji shortcut and snip & sketch?

I am unable to add emoji with the help of shortcut win+: and snip & sketch Windows logo key + Shift + Sfor past few months. I have even tried to use snipping tool manually and it seems broken. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the tool but the problem still remains same. Can anyone help?

Snip and Sketch shortcuts.

Is it possible to create a taskbar shortcut to open 'Snip and Sketch' directly and without it opening the whole App?

These images should clarify what I mean. Snip and Sketch can be added to the taskbar but it always opens as shown. By pure chance I found a button in the action centre that also opens Snip and Sketch. This one opens just the working App ready to go and use without the other screen info present.

EDIT:

More appropriate icon: %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,259

 

How to disable Snip & Sketch assigned shortcut?

Hello Mattom4,

I am Jaspreet Singh, an independent advisor.

Did you set the shortcut via file properties settings? if yes right click on snip and sketch then click on open file location in the folder that appears right click on snip and sketch shortcut and click on file properties

under shortcut tab remove the shortcut assigned and type in None.

Click apply and ok.

** you can always delete/install snip and sketch from settings/apps as this is a simple Microsoft store app
