    Snip & Sketch flickers when drawing lines


    Since updating to Windows 10 Pro version 2004, at least that I am aware of, whenever I use Snip & Sketch and I need to draw an orange line on the image, it flickers Screen goes black for about a second and then it shows a slightly longer line before it flickered. The flickering starts as soon as I start the process of drawing the line and continues. Sometimes I needs to bear several flickers just to draw a medium long line in the Snip.


    Extremely annoying since I am constantly am using Snip & Sketch during my activities at a Tech Forum that I am active in.


    When I use highlighter it works normally.


    In Group Policies it has all the required permissions - Administrators and Windows. I tried to add other permissions like "Everyone" and my own Administrator but continues with the same issue.


    Before doing a Clean Windows installation I was able to fix the issue in Group Policy. When I went there I noticed that Administrators was missing. Then next timed, while trying to see how to install that permission again, when I looked back at Group Policy, it magically appeared and Snip & Sketch starting working normally again until I did a Clean Windows installation. Now It is acting as though I am missing Administrator permission again except it is not missing and Windows is not recognizing the permission.


    I have tried using all the different settings in Snip to see if it has any affect and it doesn't.


    This occurred before and after a clean Windows installation for a different reason. I noticed this had been occurring since at least 2019.


    I do noticed that when I first create a Snip and start sketching a line and the computer is, at the moment, doing something to keep it busy, for about a couple seconds drawing a line works fine then it starts the flickering.


    I also needed to do a In-Place upgrade after doing a Clean Windows installation because I ran WD Diagnostic during the Windows Desktop to check for bad sectors and if my C: drive was defective and it corrupted the Windows installation and several apps I had installed.


    Even after that the same issue continues with Snip & Sketch. One thing I noticed was that other Users have the save issue using Sticky Notes but for me Sticky Notes works correctly.

    :)

  2. snip and sketch

    I downloaded Snip and Sketch OK. My intent is to draw/sketch on a map so I can show my readers the hiking trail I took. However, I cannot do the following:

    I want to bring up Google Earth. I then want to draw/sketch a hiking trail that I took. I want to use Snip and Sketch to draw on the Google Earth screen, and once I am done I will save this screen. Can I do this in this sequence, or do i first need to do
    a Google Earth screen print - and then bring up Snip and Sketch?

    Below it asks for a "Windows Topic." To get by this question I selected "Ink and Sketch."

    Thank you.

    snip & sketch

    Hi CJ_571

    when you use snip and sketch, the snip will appear in the action centre (winkey+A)

    you can draw on it, highlight items and save it by clicking on the floppy disk icon in the top right corner.
