we have a client who is getting snip tool error.

we tried to reinstall the snip tool app from Windows Store.

However, ever after reinstall, when we try to open snippet, we get the following error attached. Looking for an app.

we tried Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.ScreenSketch | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Repair, reset

Every available solution.

May I please request for any guidance?

    Please see if the following command fixes the Snipping Tool error.

    From Command Prompt admin, run:

    DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Windows.Client.ShellComponents~~~~0.0.1.0

    unable to run this cmd /c ver , aand the policy has blocked cmd from running

    It may be due to policies. Is this computer connected to a school/work network?
