Windows 10: Snip & Sketch not showing preview window

Hi,I have Windows 11 and installed the Snip and Sketch app from Microsoft Store although the app still shows as Snipping Tool when I open it. When I do a snip, the image disappears. Before windows 11, it would show the snip so I can draw or edit it, but now it does not show the preview. It still capture it, but I have to paste the image somewhere else Ex. Paint to Edit it. I tried resetting the app in setting and uninstalling again and I still get the same message. Can someone help?

:)

 

Snip & sketch

Thanks Lacrumb,

As I mentioned in my post, neither "snipping tool" which works and "snip & Sketch" (which doesn't) show up in the Apps list. If I try to install, Microsoft replies that I already have it (thus preventing me from installing again).

 

Snip & sketch

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.

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
