Windows 10: Snipping Tool - Send Snip - Gives Error - There is no email program associated to perform...

Snipping Tool - Send Snip - Gives Error - There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.

I am using outlook 365 desktop app. It is selected as the default email program. This happened once previously and I resolved by setting the default app to outlook. This time I checked default apps and it was back to Windows mail. I changed default program to Outlook aflgain, but I still get the same error. There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.


Moved from [Microsoft 365 and Office / Outlook / Windows 10 / Microsoft 365 Apps or Office 365 Business]

Snipping Tool - Send Snip - Gives Error - There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.

Received the following error while attempting to send a snip via email inside the Snipping Tool App:

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Defaults Programs control panel.

I did as requested to no avail.

How do I fix this?? Thanks.

Operating Windows 10 Home new install - Version 1511 Build 10586.545 & Microsoft Mail App.

 

Snipping Tool - Send Snip - Gives Error - There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.

Thanks for the quick reply.

1. Not sure what the difference between the two apps, however, I am using the native Windows 10 app

2. No other issues with mail app ie. adding Gmail, etc. In addition no issues with any apps, live tiles, loading/exiting, or notifications.. In addition, no issues with snipping tool except this issue - this is why i added the registry key - maybe a link
is missing

3. Yes, did a clean install, loaded new drivers eg. Intel chipset, Intel SRT, Touchpad, Audio, etc. Then added new apps & software eg, Chrome, WhatsApp, Codecs for WMP. Some registry changes eg, deleted Quick Access folder, WMP 64 Bit instead of 32 bit,.

I did as you suggested....again...to no avail. I attached above the Set Program Association to confirm that it is actually be set.

This is exactly what I am doing - Snipping tool, New, Draw, Email button, Warning Message, Error Message.





I added the registry key in 1st message thinking that the association is missing...maybe with snipping tool?? What do you think??

 

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.
