Updated on 3rd December 2023. It looks like, many people were able to get the snipping tool working finally by setting graphics to High Performance GPU. For me, the only option that works as on date is disabling the Intel UHD from devices panel. I think, it is a device specific issue & not many others are affected the way I am. Anyway, cheers guys. We have a working workaround now!




Disable the Intel Graphics. Snipping tool works, or worked for me through multiple hot and cold restarts after this hack.
If it fails, will update this thread with further information.
I will keep this as an open thread as, while the above hack works every time it has some adverse effects. Once I disable the Intel UHD graphics, my box cannot “Project” anymore! That means my multiple monitors setup goes for a toast. To get it back, I must enable the Intel UHD graphics once after the screen recording, feels awkward.
My HP laptop is more than 4 years old & the BIOS does not support selecting NVIDIA as default GPU, instead it is either the low power or hybrid mode. NVidia control panel is not of much help as Windows 11 handles such settings itself.
So for the time being, whenever you want to record screen using snipping tool, just disable the Intel UHD graphics and turn it on immediately after that in order to get back the multiple monitors support. If you are not using multiple monitors, then you can leave the changes as it is.
thsnkyou for the note but still i have the issue of it and dying fix it from 2 days 😔😔🥺
Sorry for the late reply Shivram. Realistic terms, there are no known fixes for the issue. One of the major inconveniences I found with screen recording is, having user to define an area of the screen for the capture itself. I use other software for screen recording btw. Let us hope Microsoft will fix this annoyance soon.
Sorry to hear that. Why don’t you use a 3rd party tool until Microsoft fixes the tool?
Hello Shivram, please check my post again. I think we have a temporary solution for the issues now. If the new hack didn’t work, do let me know. You can mail me at w 7 b u g s at l i v e d o t c o m
