Windows 10: Snip and Sketch freezes after Selection See explaination

Upon taking a screenshot of which I have bound to my PrtSc key and I select what I want to screenshot or even take the whole screen, the snip and sketch tool freezes and seems to sit there infinitely. If I click twice on my screen, snip and sketch automatically closes without providing a screenshot of what I wanted.
I have Windows version 1909.
PrtSc works as it should, I should add, taking a picture of the entire screen and copying it to my clipboard.
And no, Shift-WinKey-S doesn't solve the issue, already tried it.

Snip & Sketch - Does not take snip after selection

I have used Snip & Sketch for a long time without problem. A day ago I brought it up, selected a part of the screen, released the mouse key, and nothing happened. The screen was still grayed out and the selection was still on the screen. I can click on
another part of the screen and the selection will go away but there is nothing in the clipboard.

Have tried the following so far.

1. Installed all patches with Windows Update
2. Rebooted
3. Uninstalled Snip & Sketch and Reinstalled
4. Run Windows App Trouble Shooter
5. Reset Windows Store via Powershell
6. Set Auto copy to clipboard to On
7. Tried other selection types (line, window, full screen)
8. Turned on Save Snips but no option to save file after snip
9. Saw an option to created a new Windows account but that would be a pretty big deal to lose all my current settings and security.

Any other suggestions?

Hello FrankEngstrom,

Thank you for updating me that information. If you mean the snip and sketch? Based on your description the snipping tool is crashing?

Please try to reset Snip and Sketch

Press Start then search Apps and Features

Select Snip and Sketch on the list

Click Terminate then Reset

If it doesn't work, Please try to create a new administrator account then check if everything is working.
