My snip and sketch tool has stopped working. I open the app, select new, highlight the area to snip but then nothing happens. I have tried refreshing the app and uninstalling and reinstalling but neither have resolved the issue.

    Dear DaveLPG47, this totally fixed my problem!!! I had spent hours on this issue, and am so happy to find this fix! 

    Can’t believe the solution is as simple as such! 

    As much as I love Snip and Sketch, this problem shows that the app still has room for improvement. How could it lead users to think that it’s utterly broken when all that was missing was “notification”? In any case, glad that my issue is fix :)

    Hello PlanetBOFA,

    Good day!

    I'm Jericho, a fellow customer and an individual advisor. I am happy to assist you!

    In several cases, corrupted or missing system files that are related to your drivers can lead to this error.

    1. Press the Windows key or click start, type in CMD right-click and click on "Run as an administrator".
    2. Type in: sfc /scannow
    3. Press Enter. Wait until it finishes.
    4. Type in: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    5. Hit enter. Wait until it finishes.
    6. Restart your computer and see if that solves the issue.

    Hope that helps! Please let me know how it goes.

    I got an error message Error87 so it doesnt work for me
