Windows 10: Screenshots print screen/snipping tool are always discolored

Every time I try to take a screenshot, the colors are off or washed out. This is not a problem with any specific application since it happens no matter where I take the screenshot from. It's most noticeable when trying to pick a HEX code from an image. Here's an example of things progressively getting more discolored when I take a screenshot of a screenshot even the first/left one is already discolored:I have a Samsung Galaxy Book2 product listing with this processor: 12th Gen IntelR CoreTM i7-1260P 2.10 GHz. I'm not great with technology so I'm not sure where to even start fixing this

Cannot screenshot with Snipping Tool

Thanks for replying! I've done everything you suggested, but the issue still persists. To make it easier to troubleshoot, I've listed all the things I've tried so far.

System Model: OMEN Laptop 15-ek1xxx

Symptom: The Snipping Tool app opens as expected but when trying to take a screenshot by clicking on "New" inside the app or using its shortcuts (PrtSc or Windows + Shift + S), the cursor briefly changes to buffer and the app minimizes, but nothing happens.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Terminated Snipping Tool
  
• Repaired Snipping Tool
  
• Reset Snipping Tool
  
• Updated Windows and drivers
  
• Set time automatically
  
• Set time to October 30/31, 2021
  
• Enabled/disabled settings inside Snipping Tool
  
• Enabled delay and fullscreen options inside Snipping Tool
  
• Enabled notifications and priority notifications for Snipping Tool
  
• Changed Snipping Tool to run "Always" as a background app
  
• Enabled Clipboard History
  
• Enabled "use PrtSc to use Snipping Tool"
  
• Clicked on "New" inside Snipping Tool
  
• Used the PrtSc key and Windows + Shift + S shortcut
  
• Checked that the keyboard hardware is up to date and not faulty
  
• Pinned Snipping Tool to the taskbar
  

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps:

• Disabled "Do not allow Snipping Tool to run" in gpedit (Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Tablet PC > Accessories)
  
• Created the "DisableSnippingTool" key in registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC) and set it to 0
  
• Created the "EnableSnippingTool" key in registry (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SnippingTool) and set it to 1
  
• Ran sfc/scannow
  
• Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  
• Restarted Windows Explorer
  
• Uninstalled and reinstalled Snipping Tool via PowerShell/cmd
  
• Perfomed a Clean Boot
  
• Created a new user profile
  

What I have not tried:

• Enabled App Permissions Picture on Snipping Tool (the option does not show on advanced options)
  
• Ran the Windows 11 Snipping Tool Directly from the "Windows.old" folder (I do not have Windows.old folder)
  
• Reset Windows
  

 

W11 snipping tool unable to print from snipping toll screen

My current version of the snipping tool app 11,2302.40

I don't know when this was updated but now I am unable to print my screen shot directly from the snipping tool screen without saving the screen shot to my pictures folder. This now creates an few extra steps that I didn't have to do before. Is there some way to print without saving the screen shot? Thanks

 

Since loading Windows 10 I have not been able to print landscape from capture.png (where I print my snipping tool pictures). Can anyone help?

Hi Jordanaz,

I will certainly help you with the issue you are experiencing in printing the captured images using snipping tool.

This issue might occur, if there is changes made to the settings in snipping tool.

Before proceeding further, I would like to ask few questions:

• 
  Do you get any error message while printing images?
  
• 
  How are you trying to print the image?
  

Please refer below mentioned steps to print image in Landscape using snipping tool:

• 
  To open Snipping Tool, select the Start
  button, type Snipping Tool, and then select it in the search results. (There's no keyboard shortcut available.)
  
• 
  To take a screenshot, select New,
  and then select the part of the screen that you want to capture.
  
• 
  To print, click on File, Go to
  Print->Preferences->change to Landscape (in dropdown menu) and click
  ok.
