Uninstalled Snip&Sketch through Apps & Features, reinstalled with Add-Appx command with Admin PowerShell, Rebooted, App isn't listed in Apps&Features!!

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_version_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe/AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode



Can I provide any other information about the process I took?

Snip & Sketch window fails to stay open

OK, can you reboot and then re-try the Snip & Sketch.

If the problem persists, do the following:

Press Windows Key + I key to open Settings, and click on Apps.

You should already be on Apps & features. Find Sketch & Snip app from the available list of apps.

Click on Snip & Sketch > Uninstall.

Then click on Start and type store and click on Microsoft Store in the results.

In the Microsoft store, type Snip into the search box and hit Enter and Snip & Sketch will be in the results. Click on it and then click on Get. Let it install and then try using it again.

Let me know if this works.

 

App location for Snip & Sketch

The Windows 10 Snip & Sketch App is a Microsoft Store (UWP) App, so it does not have a traditional ".exe" file or location that can be accessed to create a hotkey.

If you want to create a Hotkey to a UWP App (eg. Snip & Sketch), the easiest way is:

1. Type Shell:Appsfolder in file explorer's address bar or from the Run dialogue (Win+R)
   

This will open the "virtual" start menu apps folder for us to work with.

1. Locate the App (eg. Snip & Sketch), right click and select "Create shortcut." Allow the shortcut to be placed on Desktop.
   
2. Right click on shortcut, enter properties and customize shortcut key.
