  1. Snip & Sketch not working - Yellow bars showing on the sides of the screen.


    Whenever I try using Snip & Sketch, instead of allowing me to print my screen, four yellow bars appear on the sides of my screen, only to leave after a while. This happens when both using the command Shift + Win + S and by directly pressing the Prnt Scr button. Plus, whenever I go into Apps and Features if I click in any app made by Microsoft the entire tab crashes. Furthermore, I'm not sure how relevant this is but, I do seem to have a problem with my Microsoft account, since whenever I try to access anything on Windows with it, like say, for example, the Microsoft Store it opens up a tab that says "Just a moment..." and it keeps loading forever. Thanks in advance.


    I do have all my drivers up to date.

    :)

    snip and sketch

    Repair install is not an option. I can make snip and sketch work if I pin to task bar then right click. I then select the option at the top of screen click on document and snip and sketch opens. At that point you continue as you would normally.

  4. Snip & Sketch not working - Yellow bars showing on the sides of the screen.

    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
