I'm using Windows 10 Pro version and I have already tried everything you stated and none worked. It was working fine until last week then it suddenly stopped working and I did not make any changes recently. It can be frustrating. I wish a Microsoft expert would chime in as there's very little help on the Microsoft Help page re: this.
If you're a Microsoft subscriber, you can go to the Microsoft website , log in, click on the nine dots in the upper left corner, select "Admin," and click on "Need help? I'm running a business version so your screen might be a little different. I had the problem where Snip and Sketch would just blink and put a yellow outline around the screen, but not do anything otherwise.
Interestingly, as I was going through some of the troubleshooting suggestions on this forum, I uninstalled the application. Don't ask me why, must be a "feature" :. Holy sh-t. Nothing on Microsoft is working. But yes, I have this same issue. The screen capture will then work to snip any area you want like how it used to work, but you no longer get the sketch option, and it only saves it to your clip board, so you will have to save to a paint file.
Which is annoying. But, if you're trying to upload something to a blog, or online, to facebook, anything like that, you can just paste the image from your clipboard to upload it.
Other things that have gone wrong with Microsoft. I opened their feedback "report a bug" option. I reset edge and everything along with dumping the cache. Still didn't work. I had to open Firefox for it to work. Microsoft, you're a multi-billion dollar corporation. I'm sick of this. This year you have caused more issues than you have fixed. So I had to reinstall my OS. Then MY wifi was effed up afterwards even though it had the same driver. I ended up just hard wiring my computer.
Your Microsoft Office apps license manager is garbage. I had to reinstall 5 times. I had to go through your advanced troubleshooting, I spent days trying to fix it. The only thing that actually fixed it was buying a different license. I still have yet to get a refund on my previous license. Get your sh-t together. I have tried the fixes in this thread and other resources without success. When attempting to "activate" the tool a busy circle displays near the cursor for a few seconds but nothing happens.
