Windows 10: Since Windows 10 Snip & Sketch app does not open.

Since Windows 10 updated my computer today, 12/9/2019, the Snip & Sketch app does not open. From the Start menu nothing happens; from the Taskbar the app icon disappears after clicking it.

:)

 

Screen Sketch app renamed to Snip & Sketch in Windows 10 Insider build

It seems...

snips will only automatically paste into S&S UI by way of the S&S Menu or S&S jump lists...







UNLESS...

you have Notifications for S&S enabled, then, if you've snipped by way of Win+Shift+S, or other, you can then paste it in S&S UI by clicking on the banner...





btw...

S&S will populate jump lists if you select files and Open with... S&S:

 

Snip & Sketch

It's the Snipping Tool that's being phased out, not Snip & Sketch. FWIW, I just used the latter tool and was able to paste the snip into a Word (Office 365) document. There was a point in the past when for reasons unknown, opening Word would clear the
clipboard. If you're using an older version, you might want to try opening the document first, before taking a screenshot.

If you prefer to use Snipping Tool, all you have to do (as I suggested earlier) is open the Start Menu and type snip.

 

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
