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!

 

Snip tool not working properly issue

That could very well be an issue for the snip tool application to fix. But, there are potential other possibilities.

However, research shows there has been issues involving multi and 3 monitor setups in the past. If you had it working on Windows 10 then that suggests a random combination of setting possibilities which causes it that possibly no one can guess (or a new issue with it involving Windows 11) and thus may require the snip tool programmers to test and fix it.

Being a programmer, I would suggest if there's no suggestion from the devs on how to workaround or fix it then you may have to only use two monitors until someday when you test it or see a fix being released for something that fixes it. There are preview updates pending for Windows 11 release right now but I can't remember in the snip tool has anything in there.

You could of course dual boot or return back to Windows 10 and if it still works then stay there for a while. It is a valid way to solve it. Windows 10 is supported for another 3-4 years.
