Posted 9th, Dec 2016.

Yesterday my Snipping Tool and Paint have stopped working, prior yesterday I had no problems, and no I haven't changed any settings or installed new programs.

What happens  when I select an  area using the Snipping Tool, and then try to SAVE AS   a pop up box tells me Snipping Tools is not working. The same thing happens exactly when I try to use Paint  and  print screen.

I've tried to restart, and  run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)   nothing works.

I'm using Windows 10.

TIA

regards

VB

P.S. In the product box below I clicked on Photo Gallery only to be able to submit this problem, it has nothing to do with Photo Gallery.
