Can't paste a snip anymore

Anonymous

Hello all,

I don't remember when it actually started, but I can't paste a snip anymore, anywhere, not without copying something else first. And I explain.

I snip something, open up pbrush, hit paste, but nothing happens. I have clipboard history enabled, so I can see the snip in the history. For me to make it work, I have to select something else from the history, or copy something new even a new snip!!!, paste it and then select the original snip I wanted to paste from the clipboard history and paste it. It's not only pbrush, it's everywhere, whatsapp web, paint 3d, word, everywhere. Any ideas?

Thank you for reading me.

    Hi,
    I would suggest you refer to the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Resetting the Snip & Sketch app.

    1. Right-click Start Menu and select Settings.
    2. Navigate to Apps > Apps & features.
    3. Search Snip & Sketch.
    4. Select and click Advanced options.
    5. Click the Reset button and then the following reset button again.

    If resetting the app does not resolve the issue. I would suggest re-register Snip & Sketch using the command prompt.

    1. Press the Start Menu key and type CMD, right-click, and click Run as administrator.
    2. Copy-paste the following command below and press enter.

    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.ScreenSketch*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let me know how it goes by replying to this thread so that I can assist you further. Thank you!

    Sincerely,
    P. Blancaflor
