snip and sketch not working

Unable to use snip and sketch at all.

It starts and disappears after a second or two.

I now use the snipping tool when required...

Are you able to take the Snip but not have it available to edit? That was my problem. I have documented the solution here, but in a nutshell, hit Win-A after taking the Snip. A bar will pop up on the right allowing you to use it.

No, that stopped working for me at home. On my work PC that is the way it functions. A solution I found, as noted above, is to hit Win-A after taking the Snip. This opens up a bar on the right to allow editing. As a bonus, this can be done at any point afterward and doesn't have to be done immediately.

Here's a re-post of the solution that worked for me.  Been months now and Snip and Sketch still works after various Win10 updates.  No re-install.  No jumpin' through hoops, waving chicken bones, etc.

I stumbled upon a fix for the "snip" problem I was having.

I wanted to change a notification for an unrelated app in settings.  I happened to notice that notifications were turned off for Snip & Sketch (pretty sure I didn't do this), but maybe latest update did??  Anyways I turned notifications on for snip & sketch and "snip" worked for me again.  

Hope this might help others.

Thanks for the reply.

I have checked on my home PC where I am having this issue and I can't see skip and sketch in the notification area at all.

I can see it on my work PC where the app works fine.

I will investigate further...

Further to this.

I have since checked my pc at home and the snip & sketch notification is on for banners, sounds.

It still fails to completely start and just stays on for a second or two.
