I would look in the event viewer for a recorded error for the snip tool.

Thanks for the reply Neemobeer,
No error found in logs but restarted and it came back working OK. One of those Gremlins!
Retried snip keyboard shortcut and the problems started again.
If I reboot and the problem does not occur I will not repost. I will not be retesting the snip keyboard shortcut and hopefully Microsoft will attend to this gremlin in a subsequent update. Perhaps you could send it on.

You can try running the following from a Powershell prompt to re-register the sketch application, it may resolve the issue.

Code:

$Package = Get-ChildItem "$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)\Packages\*sketch*"
Rename-Item $Package.FullName "$($Package.FullName).bak"

Get-AppxPackage -Name "*sketch*" | % { Add-AppxPackage -Path "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode }

Well Neemobeer, if your still out there. Thank you for the reply, I've moved on to Win 2004 and hiccups have subsided. I write this because I forgot to give you a like for having the interest and care for helping slow people such as myself, obviously lockdown has given me too much time to fill with resurrecting old communications.
Keep safe. Regards
