Windows 10: Snipping Tool Doesn't Work

My Snipping Tool stopped working today. When I do the shortcut for it, Win+Shift+S, there is a little blue loading spinner next to my cursor for about a second. It then goes away, and doesn't let me take a screenshot. The same thing happens when I press PrtSc on my keyboard. I know that this is a software issue, not hardware most likely. It was working yesterday, so I don't know. This has happened before, and it fixed itself after a couple of days, but I would like to know how to fix this so that I can use the Snipping Tool. I tried repairing and resetting the app, but that didn't change anyth

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

Please try this:

Step 1:

Click Start, and type Snipping Tool.

Right-click Snipping Tool from the search results, and click App Settings

Click Reset,

Click Repair.

Note: In Windows 11, there is no Snip and Sketch. It comes pre-installed with the new Snipping Tool (which replaces the old Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch apps)

Step 2:

Turn off Focus assist if it's enabled

Step 3:

Open Services.msc and make sure that the following services are set to "Automatic" and running:

• Windows Push Notifications System Service
  
• Windows Push Notifications User Service
