Windows 10: snipping tool not copying automatically

Hi, I ran into a weird issue with the snipping function (win+shift+s). Previously, it was working great. I can use it to snip anything from my screen, and it would be copied automatically.

But I reinstalled my system recently, and the snipping tool stopped copying. I have to open the "snip and sketch" app for the snip to be copied.

Auto copy to clipboard is enabled. What should I do to get it to copy automatically again?

Your post is unclear. Please post a step-by-step description of what you are doing, e.g. like so:

• Open the snipping tool
• Click "New"
• etc.

That fact is that the "snip" is not always "automatically copied to the Snipping Tool window". The Snipping Tool window is no where to be found, the only way I can get a copy of the snip is to open a blank Word document and "paste" it to the blank document
and then "print" it.

 

Snipping Tool Properties in Windows 10

Hi Missy,

The easiest way to make a copy of something is to take a snapshot of your screen by using the Snipping Tool. You can use it to save and share news stories, movie reviews, or recipes. To access the Properties and set a shortcut key for the Snipping Tool, you
can follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key.
• Type Snipping Tool.
• Right-click on the Snipping Tool
  result, and click Open file location.
• Right-click on the Snipping Tool shortcut, and click
  Properties.
