Windows 10: Snip and Sketch has stopped working

when I press NEW in snip and sketch nothing happens. This app has worked in the past. I just uninstalled it and downloaded a new copy from the MS Store and it still does not work. I have also run DISM and SFC and both reported no issues. Help.

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

 

Snip & Sketch

Thank you for clarifying what is being phased out - I already cannot use the "Snipping Tool" as it appears to have stopped working. Glad that Snip & Sketch will continue to exist.

I think I have found what the issue is: a security add-in for browsing financial records is blocking the screen capture for me. I have not found how to deem the screen grab in the snip&sketch app "safe" but was able to temporarily stop it, which appears
to have made the app useful again.

Thanks to all who took time to respond!

 

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.
