    Snip and Sketch capturing itself


    Does anyone know how to stop Snip and Sketch from capturing itself in a screenshot? I take a lot of screenshots in my game using it and lately its been leaving me with a strip of green and white at the top of all of them.

    Capture context menus in Snip & Sketch

    In the built in Windows Snipping Tool, if you want to capture context menus that disappear when you move the mouse off of them, you can start a new snip, then press ESC, then expand your context menu, then press Ctrl-PrtScn to trigger a snip of your screen.

    In Windows 10 when I open the Snipping Tool I am being reminded that I should use Snip & Sketch instead. But how do you capture the context menus in Snip & Sketch? (ESC then Ctrl-PrtScn does not work.)

    Snip and Sketch capture resolution

    Thanks for the reply, I asked because my scrn res is 3480x2160 as recommended and when I recently uploaded some screen shots (captured with snip and sketch) the online photo co marked them as low res photos.

    Snip and Sketch capturing itself

    Snip & Sketch

    I LOVED the Microsoft Snipping Tool. I understand that Microsoft did away with it and replaced it with "Snip & Sketch." While the concept to use it is the same, when I capture what I want as a "NEW" snip, it then appears simply as a blank screen within the
    Snip & Sketch app. I believe that the app says it copies the snip to the Clipboard, so I attempted to open up a Word doc and a Notepad doc and "Paste" but still nothing appears.

    Please help!
