How to Enable or Disable Snipping Tool in Windows

No, Snipping Tool isn't the app that's still allowed to run. I know this because I can't explicitly start Snipping Tool when I enable the policy; I do get the error dialog that you show in your article.

I don't know which app is running. I initially thought it was Snip & Sketch, but I don't think that's it either because I set the Snip & Sketch toggle to off in my Background apps settings (see screenshot 1) and even uninstalled Snip & Sketch, but the tool (whatever it's name) is still activating when I press Shift + F6 (see screenshot 2). It's still activating even after I restarted my computer.

Ah, ok. Yep, that would be the Snip & Sketch app from the Microsoft Store instead of the Snipping Tool app.

If wanted, you could uninstall the Snip & Sketch app below instead.

Sadly, that didn't work either.

Does the Snip & Sketch app still show in the Start menu > All Apps list?

If so, are you able to uninstall the app from that location instead?

Hello @ManuelCN,

Have a look at these . . .

I hope this helps.

I must admit that I'm not sure why the keyboard shortcut still opens the app even though the app is uninstalled.

Hi, unfortunately the link here:

is no longer valid.. security/communication problem.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.windowsq.com. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

One user, determined to eradicate apps, wanted to lose this one too...
Thanks

Please post a screenshot of it.
Please post the corresponding command line shown in Task manager, Processes.

Command line is one of the optional columns that can be chosen by right-clicking on any existing column header.
