Recording in Snipping Tool doesn't work

I use snipping tools almost daily for screenshots and screen recordings, but for, I think, almost two weeks, the recording hasn't worked anymore. It just shows some error. 
If anyone knows how to solve this, please help me...

    I think your best bet is uninstalling it and re-installing it. you can re install it by finding it in Microsoft store. i also checked my PC and it works on it so its probably only your PC. if anybody else is getting this issue let me know!

    Same problem with me. I solved it by changing snipping tool's graphic settings from intel (Internal Graphics) to geforce (External graphics).
