Windows 10: Lost Snip & Sketch after 21H1 windows update

I've lost the Snip & Sketch shortcut Ctrl + Shift + S after I got the 21H1 update. I have tried open the clipboard and open Snip & Sketch's notification in the settings. The irritating part is its keeps shutting off. I also try reset, terminate, and uninstalling then reinstalling it, But the problem still occurs every time During my work or when I restart the windows. As always, please give me the solution to solve this thing. Too frustrating to surfing through the internet for the method on the internet.

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
