The issue arises when the user tries to use the Snip & Sketch application (either from the Windows startup menu or the keyboard shortcut) but encounters the following message: Although the Snip & Sketch application is shown in the system’s registry whereas the MS-Screenclip-Link protocol is not shown in the Defaults Apps by Protocol window.
Solution 1: Update the Windows of Your System to the Latest Build
Microsoft adds new features (to pace with the latest technological advancements) and patches reported bugs (like the one causing the issue) through the Windows updated channel. An outdated Windows 10 version may cause incompatibility between the OS modules and thus result in the error at hand. In this context, updating the system’s Windows to the latest build may solve the problem.
Solution 2: Reset and Re-register the Snip & Sketch Application
You may encounter the MS-Screenclip issue if the installation of Snip & Sketch application is corrupt. In this case, resetting or re-registering the Snip & Sketch application may solve the problem. If that did not do the trick, check if uninstalling the Snip & Sketch application and then reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store resolves the issue.
Solution 3: Use the SFC and DISM Commands
You may encounter the MS-Screenclip link issue if your essential system files are corrupt. In this context, running the SFC and DISM commands may clear the files’ corruption and thus solve the problem. But keep in mind that these commands may take some time to complete, so, try them when you can spare your system for some time. If the issue is still there, then you may have to use DISM online cleanup command.
Solution 4: Perform an In-Place Upgrade
If none of the solutions solved your issue, then you may have to perform an in-place upgrade of your system to clear the issue at hand. If the issue is still there, then either you may have to perform a system restore or create a bootable USB from the downloaded ISO file (step 11) and use it to perform the in-place upgrade.
