Fixes for Snipping Tool error on Windows 11:
Snipping tool error

Before you move forward with any of the workarounds and fixes mentioned below, make sure that your Windows OS is updated to the latest version available. Just go to ‘Settings’ and click on ‘Windows update’. If you find any pending updates, install them before trying out these fixes. This is important because Microsoft has already released a fix for this issue in one of their recent updates [KB5008295 Out-of-band]. So it might just solve your issue instantly! If you still face problems with the Snipping Tool, go ahead with the fixes mentioned below.

1) Change Date and Time settings:

This fix might sound very weird to a few of you, but many users have tried and confirmed that this actually works! All you have to do is, go into date and time settings. Turn off ‘Set time automatically’ and manually select a random date. Save the changes and try accessing the snipping tool. This weird yet legitimate fix will definitely get rid of the snipping tool error on your computer. Turn on the ‘Set time automatically’ function and continue to use the snipping tool. It’s hard to say why it works, but it does nonetheless.

2) Clipboard History:

This fix is another suggestion from a Windows 11 user. You need to go into Settings and click on ‘System’. Keep scrolling down on the window until you find ‘Clipboard’. Once, you find the option, select it and enable ‘Clipboard history’.  Since this worked for a few users out there, you might want to give it a try.

3) Terminate and Repair:

This fix is the only one on this list that sounds like a proper fix for this problem. But ironically, it has a very low probability of working. You should still give it a try, as this is a troubleshooting method suggested by Microsoft itself. You will need to go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Apps’ > ‘Apps and features’. In the list of apps find ‘Snipping tool’ and click on the three dots beside it. Then select ‘Advanced options’. Here, you will see an option to terminate the app. Click on ‘Terminate’. Wait for a few seconds for the termination to take place. Then, click on ‘Repair’. Apparently, this should solve the snipping tool error on your device.
