I've been using the Win+Shift+S command to take (and copy) screenshots for ages now.

Since today I ran into the problem that it only works once? The first time (after I've restarted my computer) the snipping tool works fine. But if I try it again to capture another screenshot, nothing is happening.

Things I've tried to solve this issue:

• Turn on the Clipboard History Switch
• Make Sure Snip & Sketch Is Enabled
• Reset Snip & Sketch
• Reinstall Snip & Sketch
• Tried to workaround the issue by creating a macro to make the shortcut for me.
• Tried to run the snipping tool with command 'ms-screenclip:'

Hope someone can provide me with a solution!

DELETE windows snip and sketch period. don't try to download it again it's cursed, keep it deleted, and windows+shift+s works infinitely.

Found the answer through a friend of mine.

Turned out that the process 'screen snipping' was still running in the background.

Killed the process and it seems all fine now!
