Windows 10: Snip and sketch shortcut

I'm trying to use my snip and sketch shortcut using winkey+shift+s but it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't register the command and I have to manually open the app instead of the screen going dim and showing the options at the top of the screen.

Snip and Sketch shortcuts.

Is it possible to create a taskbar shortcut to open 'Snip and Sketch' directly and without it opening the whole App?

These images should clarify what I mean. Snip and Sketch can be added to the taskbar but it always opens as shown. By pure chance I found a button in the action centre that also opens Snip and Sketch. This one opens just the working App ready to go and use without the other screen info present.

EDIT:

More appropriate icon: %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,259

 

How to disable Snip & Sketch assigned shortcut?

Hello Mattom4,

I am Jaspreet Singh, an independent advisor.

Did you set the shortcut via file properties settings? if yes right click on snip and sketch then click on open file location in the folder that appears right click on snip and sketch shortcut and click on file properties

under shortcut tab remove the shortcut assigned and type in None.

Click apply and ok.

** you can always delete/install snip and sketch from settings/apps as this is a simple Microsoft store app
