Win + Shift + S stops working after one use

This is happening for a few weeks now, when I boot my PC the shortcut works, but only ONE time. After I use it one single time it doesn't anymore, windows even show's on my cursor icon that it is trying to load something but it refuses to complete it, if I reboot my pc I get my single use again, if I don't, the shortcut won't work until I go to the task manager, completely end 'Windows Explorer' and open it again, after that I get one single extra use of the shortcut.

How can I fix this?

    I just tested your solution. It allows me to use snipping tool but then it breaks again after one use. Fortunately I am willing to keep task manager open and keep resetting Windows Explorer instead of restarting entire PC.

    Restarting PC does seem to have a chance to completely fix the problem for the duration of the session but it might break again on next reboot.

    Thank you.

    Type "winver" in the search/Run box and press enter.

    What is the Build and version number reported in the Window?
