Sure! Here's a simple and helpful reply you can use:
Hi,
This issue sounds like the Snipping Tool is set to auto-save only, without copying to clipboard. Try this:
- Open Snipping Tool
- Click on the three dots (•••) > Settings
- Make sure "Automatically copy changes to clipboard" is turned ON
Also, make sure you're not using “Delay” or “Window” mode, which sometimes skips clipboard copy.
If that doesn’t work, try restarting the Snipping Tool or resetting it from Settings > Apps > Snipping Tool > Advanced Options > Reset.
Hope this helps!
