Snippet Tool will snip but snip doesn't show up in a test email

Hi Phillip,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



I would like to inform you that Snipping tool is a desktop app and not a Windows Store app.

All the Windows Store apps will be listed in All apps list and not desktop app.

Regarding the sending attachment emails of snipped imaged, follow the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Open Snipping tool.

2. Then click on New button and then imaged will be shown in the snipping tool.

3. After that click on File button on the top left side of the app and click on
Send to.

4. Click on Email Recipient.



Please get back to us with an update on using snipping tool, we will be happy to help.



Thank you.

 

Snipping Tool Solid Gray cut out

Hi,

The issue can be due to a corrupted profile account which is affecting the built-in app Snipping Tool. Perform the following solutions below if it works for you:

• Open administrative command prompt (type in Command Prompt in the Cortana search bar, then right-click it and select Admin) and type or copy and paste the following:
  • sfc /scannow
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    
• Go to This PC > Windows > system32 > run Snipping Tool as administrator.

Let us know how it went after troubleshooting.
