Windows 10: Snip & Sketch WIN + SHIFT + S doesn't work.

I reinstalled Windows 10 because couldn't find a solution for this problem, after clean installing windows 10 the app Snip & Sketch worked perfectly for weeks but then I mistakenly updated the app in the windows app store. I wanted to update skype not the snip & sketch app but I misclicked and updated both. After updating Snip & Sketch it stopped working again. Please help me, I'm desperate! I use that tool a lot for work and not being able to use it anymore gives me many problems and frustration and I don't want to reinstall everything again.I noticed that when I use the shortcut

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.

 

Snip and Sketch stopped working.

Today Snip and Sketch (Win-Shift-S) stopped working. It was working fine yesterday.

Pressing WIn-Shift-S brings up the snipping tool and allows me to highlight an area to snip but when I do so, nothing happens. There is no way to edit or save the selected area.

I use this frequently, so it is a big deal to me when it is not working.

I have:

A. shutdown and restarted Windows.

B. uninstalled and reinstalled the Snip and Sketch application.

C. run a troubleshooter.

D. looked at update history which does not show anything updated in the past few days.

None of those actions helped.
