Windows 10: Snipping Tool - Drop Down Menu not working/showing up

Whenever launching the Snipping Tool, I cannot access the Settings page since the drop down menu won't show up after clicking it. Also there are two drop down menu buttons in the program, which seems like a bug on my end. I've been wanting to access the menu to turn off the auto-save of snipped screenshots but is not possible without the drop down menu popping up.

Snipping Tool Enlarging Images

Hi Heather,

Snipping Tool has various options on how you can capture images in your computer. To change it to normal snipping, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + S to open Search Box.
• Type Snipping Tool, then click it.
• Click New.
• Click the drop-down menu in New.
• Select Rectangular Snip.

Let us know if this works for you.

 

Snipping tool not working

I'm trying to use the Snipping Tool (Windows+Shift+S) but when it opens up to let me select which part of the screen to select, it blanks out the entire screen so that there is nothing to select. I'm not sure when this stopped working since I do not use it very often. I'm using:

• Edition Windows 11 Pro
  
• Version 21H2
  
• Installed on ‎11/‎6/‎2021
  
• OS build 22000.613
  
• Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.613.0
  
• The Snipping Tool shows version 11.2201.12.0
  

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

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