    Win+Shift+S Snipping Tool Not Working Properly When in Specific Dual Monitor Arrangement


    Hello, I use the Win+Shift+S tool a lot, and having recently upgraded to Windows 11, I noticed that the tool doesn't work properly now with the screen arrangement that I use with my laptop and external monitor. When in a specific arrangement pictured below the laptop screen on the left of the external monitor, the snipping tool only darkens a portion of the external monitor, and I'm not able to start drawing the snipping tool outside of the darkened portion, but I am able to take a screenshot of that portion of the screen if I started from the darkened portion.

    Snipping Tool on dual monitor

    Snipping Tool Win+Shift+S not taking capture and saving.

    Hi Daniel, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

    If your Snipping Tool isn't working correctly, you could try resetting it. Here are the steps to do so:

    - Click Start and type "apps & features".

    - Select Apps & Features.

    - Find the Snipping Tool (or Snip & Sketch) in the list and select it.

    - Click Advanced Options

    - Click Reset.

    After you've done this, try rebooting and using the Snipping Tool again.

    Please let me know if you need further support! Thanks!
