Windows snipping tool is a decent option for quick screen grabs, but lately it’s been freezing up on my at annoying times without any sort consistency. The steps below worked for me to resolve all instances of the Windows snipping tool freezing.
- Update your graphics driver to the latest version
- This process is going to vary depending your computer hardware
- Open command prompt as administrator and run: SFC /Scannow
- Right click command prompt and click ‘run as administrator’ to open as administrator
- After SFC /Scannow, run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Reboot your computer
You may not need to do every step of the process above. Updating the graphics drivers or repairing your windows image by fix it by themself. I would recommend doing both especially if you haven’t updated your graphics driver or repaired your windows image in a while!
