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...

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.

Good day!

In several cases, corrupted or missing system files that are related to your drivers can lead to this error.
- Press the Windows key or click start, type in CMD right-click and click on "Run as an administrator".
- Type in: sfc /scannow
- Press Enter. Wait until it finishes.
- Type in: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Hit enter. Wait until it finishes.
- Restart your computer and see if that solves the issue.
Hope that helps! Please let me know how it goes.
