The Snipping tool is failing in Windows 11 but it is not the only one and Microsoft already recognizes the failure
Table of contents:
We have already talked about the Snipping tool on other occasions. A function in Windows to be able to work with images resulting from screenshots and modify them to our liking. A tool that appears is causing problems for Windows 11 users"
Those who are already using Windows 11 are complaining about crashes when trying to use the Snipping tool on their computers. The application stops working offering an error message and ultimately requires a device reset.
Problem with certificates
According to Windows Latest, when opening the Snipping tool> they encounter the following error message:"
"The problem seems to have started as of this weekend and occurs mostly when the New> button is clicked. To check the status of the error I have carried out the tests on my computer and for now the Snipping tool works without a problem."
Complaints have not taken long to appear in the forums and indications suggest that it may be related to the expiration of some certificates and in this sense They are betting on two possible solutionsin the absence of a corrective patch from Microsoft. Meanwhile, from the American company they have already recognized the failure, also admitting that the Cuts tool is not the only one that is being affected:"
- Crop Tool
- Accounts page and landing page in Settings app (in S mode only)
- Touch keyboard, voice typing and emoji panel
- Input Method Editor User Interface (IME UI)
- Getting started and tips
As a first alternative solution they propose to use the Print Screen key on the keyboard and paste the screenshot into a document. You can also paste into Paint to select and copy the section you need.
But it is not the only alternative and so from the forums and by those affected, two other possible temporary solutions to the problem are proposed. First of all they talk about change the team date with these steps:
-
"
- Enter Settings and then search for Time & Language. " "
- Disable Set time automatically if it is enabled." "
- Select Change next to Set date and time manually. "
- Change the date to October 31 or before.
These steps should correct the problem, but if after doing so it still persists, provide another possible solution.
-
"
- Open the File Explorer."
- Go to the system drive. "
- In the folder Windows.old search for the following path: Windows > System32 ." "
- The link to SnippingTool.exe appears in the Windows.old System32 folder and just press twice to access andopen the classic Snipping tool."
