Snipping Tool crashing

Hi there,

I've encountered this problem when trying to save. The app freezes and error report shows up (that the program has stopped working). --see screen ("Výstřižky" is Snipping Tool in Czech)

Details of error --see attachments

It's caused by COMCTL32.dll stored in C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7600.16661_none_fa62ad231704eab7

System restore didn't help. Tried sfc /scannow - reported errors that cannot be fixed. --see attachments (CBS.log - errors in the end of the file)

So I wanted to perform a repair install, but the installation compatibility control failed - couldn't upgrade x64 to x86, but I definitely chose x64 (now running x64) ... weird

Any ideas how to fix it? Snipping Tool or sfc.

Try this one......More professional than Snip!

Hi andre,

You may want to retry a Repair Install following the guide to the letter.

Another option is to repeatedly press F8 while booting to access the boot menu, then select Repair Computer from the list and see if any errors appear and get fixed.

I don't think there is a need to fix the System File Checker. There are errors it just cannot fix. That happens on any system.
As to the snipping tool, maybe you can "borrow" the snippingtool.exe (which is in the system32 folder) from another system and replace yours. Else I can really recommend those two alternatives:

1 thing you could try is to open explorer and navigate to c:\windows\system32 and right-click the snippingtool.exe and select 'Properties'. Under the Previous Versions tab does it list anything?

It could be that the file has been modified somehow and that there is still a shadow copy remaining for it.
