Snip & Sketch suddenly useless!
I've used Snip &Sketch successfully for as long as I've had W10. Today, suddenly, it stopped working when I use the Shift-Winkey-S hotkey combination. All I get is a thin yellow border around my whole desktop screen, and no S&S control panel (the small panel that gives all the options - 4 kinds of snips + an exit X). The yellow border disappears after a few seconds, but no snip has been taken. Normal behaviour of S&S is that you see the yellow border for an instant, and then the small control panel emerges onscreen.
I've looked into this here. I've used Brink's tutorial on resetting and re-registering the app. I've reset the app in Apps and Features, I've uninstalled the app and re-installed it from the MS Store. I've restarted a bunch of times. I've scanned with both Defender and Malwarebytes. I've scanned with AdwCleaner. I've even used a System Restore to go back to a two-day-old Restore Point. It was working perfectly back then.
Nada.
Yes, I have backups, but I'm waiting to restore an MR image until I'm sure there isn't an easier, simpler solution.
Any help sincerely appreciated. I have a working S & S on my other PC, so it's almost certainly not Windows-update related.
