Windows 10: Snip & Sketch - Windows key stays "hot"

I am finding that when I use Snip & Sketch via Win-Shift-S, then after capturing my snip, it is as if I have continued to have my Windows key depressed.


For example, Win-A brings up the notification screen. Here is what happens for me when I use Snip & Sketch:


Win-Shift-S screen goes dark

Draw box

Get notification that snip has been taken.

Press the "A" button

Notifications screen opens.


Any keyboard button I press from that point on brings up whatever Win+that key would do. The only way to get it to stop is to press the Win key twice.


Is it just me?

Snip & Sketch window fails to stay open

OK, can you reboot and then re-try the Snip & Sketch.

If the problem persists, do the following:

Press Windows Key + I key to open Settings, and click on Apps.

You should already be on Apps & features. Find Sketch & Snip app from the available list of apps.

Click on Snip & Sketch > Uninstall.

Then click on Start and type store and click on Microsoft Store in the results.

In the Microsoft store, type Snip into the search box and hit Enter and Snip & Sketch will be in the results. Click on it and then click on Get. Let it install and then try using it again.

Let me know if this works.

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
