Photos.Exe Bad Image / Snipping Tool .EXE Bad Image
Hello Insider community,
I recently have this issue wherein my photos app and snipping tool is not opening and getting the error mentioned above. This error is also present after device is being restarted. I already tried creating a new user profile, sfc scan, dism, run mrt and still getting the same error. Already tried to re-register the app from settings and powershell

Hi, Since you already tried sfc, DISM, creating a new user, and re-registering the apps, try this: Reset the apps: Settings → Apps → Photos / Snipping Tool → Advanced Options → Reset Reinstall via PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage Photos | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage WindowsCamera | Remove-AppxPackage Then reinstall from Microsoft Store Check for Windows Updates Test with a new local admin account If still not working, do an in-place Windows repair using the latest ISO This usually fixes “Bad Image” errors.
