This is very sad news. Unfortunately we are all at the mercy of corporate capitalism these days. I've boycotted Amazon retail for years and this is just another reason I won't be changing my mind...

It's just that I've learned nothing about what caused it. It's so often the way with these sorts of problems. I do regular System Backups of C: drive with AOMEI Backupper which I've been using for ...

A big thanks to everybody who helped with this. Sadly, nothing I tried worked so I bit the bullet and did a fresh install of Windows. Snipping Tool is working fine again and I'm testing it each ...

No, I haven't heard of that. I'll take a look, thanks.

Interesting story. I haven't seen this Snipping Tool issue before and can think of nothing not even a recent Windows update that might have triggered it. I certainly made no changes to Firewall. ...

Thanks Robert, I'll take a look but I wouldn't expect to see any setting changes that could account for this. It's worth checking of course. I'm assuming the setting "do not allow snipping tool to ...

I'm afraid I don't know what a key file refers to but I did run those commands using Power Shell as administrator but no errors were reported. It is indeed tedious. What I find especially ...

Exactly the same error when I try to start it from the shortcut.

I was able to navigate to that folder (exactly the same as yours above) where the Snipping Tool exec is stored with File Explorer. I couldn't run the file from there as Admin.

Thanks, Robert Done, no integrity violations found Done. Restore operation completed successfully. Snipping Tool still returns the same error. I located the executable but Run as Administrator does ...

Thanks for the reply, Doug Yes, one of the first things I tried - only because there's a reference to "permissions" in the error message.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's turned on. I wasn't aware that Snipping Tool accesses my picture library. I only use it to capture something off my desktop. That might sometimes be a photo I've taken.

No, I've used Windows 11 since it's release. Thanks for the suggestion to roll back updates. I rolled back to the previous build  (22621.1344) but it didn't help. Snipping Tool was working ok with ...

Can anyone suggest what the trouble might be here? When I try to start Snipping Tool I get this error; Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate ...

Not me but I was an early adopter of a Dell UP2715K (5120x2880) for photo editing. I didn't really need it given my viewing distance. A 4K model would have been perfectly adequate for a 27" panel. ...

No I don't think you did. The fault was mine for not explaining myself clearly. When I tried to update to 25309 from within windows, I got a message saying this was not possible and I haven't ...

Yes, there is of course and I've done that a number of times with previous releases. I'm not that bothered about the update per se.  I was just wondering why MS tech support would say the update ...

Thanks, Bob. I am familiar with installing from an ISO on bootable thumb drives using the MS Media Creation Tool, Rufus and the UUDump site. All methods are as you say, quite simple to do. ...

I'm currently on the Insider Preview Dev Channel on build 25300.1000 and ran into problems trying to update to 25309 - the latest build. Since none of the suggested fixes I found online worked, I ...

The best solution I have found for mouse and KB sharing is Stardock's Multiplicity which I've been using for years now. It's one of the best, most useful apps I ever bought for sharing mouse and ...
