Windows 10: Snip & Sketch app constantly crashing when taking screenshots with Win + Shift + S...

Hello everyone!

I am having this annoying issue lately, and I feel like I'm the only one. When using the said shortcut to capture a region of the screen, Windows Snip & Sketch just hangs for a moment, but there is no confirmation that the screenshot was taken.

Application only crashes when trying to take a screenshot of certain size, fullscreen captures work fine.

I checked the Event Viewer, and this same error is consistently generated in the logs after trying to take a screenshot:

Faulting application name: ScreenClippingHost.exe, version: 1907.3183.0.11830, time stamp: 0x5dc33d91 Faulting module name: ScreenClipping.dll, version: 1907.3183.0.11830, time stamp: 0x5dc3361c Exception code: 0x80000003 Fault offset: 0x0000000000090203 Faulting process id: 0x1898 Faulting application start time: 0x01d5e580336ab1d2 Faulting application path: C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\ScreenClipping\ScreenClippingHost.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\ScreenClipping\ScreenClipping.dll Report Id: cbc37f96-ff95-4b8c-9ac2-8c3376f9314a Faulting package full name: MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_119.21101.11830.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy Faulting package-relative application ID: ScreenClipping

I have tried the following to no avail:

• uninstalling / reinstalling the app through Windows Store
• resetting the app
• using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) - no errors found

Below is the version of Windows 10 I'm using:

• Edition: Windows 10 Pro
• Version: 2004
• OS Build: 19041.84

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

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

 

Automatically open Snip & Sketch editor after using snipping tool with Win+Shift+S

You can open the Snip & Sketch app directly in "new" mode by right-clicking the app (on either the Start Menu App List, on the pinned tile, or on the Task Bar) and select "Take a new snip" from the Jump List menu.

The Clipboard History feature (October 2018 update) will save and list all items sent to the clipboard, including any snips. These items can then be accessed through Win+V. The hotkey will also take you to the setup for Clipboard History if the feature is not enabled.

As for your other concerns, I am not sure of how to open editor automatically after sniping using the hotkeys. But the following information could be of use.

If you take a snip using Shift+Win+S, the Snip & Sketch App's notification should be accessible at the top of the Action/Notification Center side bar even if there's no pop-up. The Notification Center can be accessed through Win+A or through the Notification icon at the end of the task bar (Windows Tips). Clicking on the Snip & Sketch's notification there will launch the editor with the latest snip.

You could thus use Shift+Win+S for a snip, then Win+A and click on the notification to launch editing.

 

Opening Screenshots in Snipping Tool/Snip & Sketch

Hi,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

The behavior you see is expected-Now taking screenshots would automatically copy them to the clipboard and would not open a new Window like happened with snipping tool.

A notification, should generate however to open the editor if needed. See the screenshot.

A better way would be to open Snip and Sketch app using app and select New Snip.
