Snip and sketch

I am trying to use snip and sketch and have been for a while but yesterday the app seems to be launching the desktop picture and will only allow me to snip that......I have tried removing picture, just snipped windows desktop, tried reloading snip and sketch,
tried removing latest windows update, but the desktop screen override the and sits on top of what i want to snip.I can see as I launch the snip program, the desktop pic flashes over the item I want

It must be driver error.....what on earth have I done?
