    This seems to be working as designed. You get the yellow border, then inside that area you click and drag to select an area to put on the clipboard. Once you release the mouse button, the screen is restored to "normal", and you have your selected item on your clipboard, with a notification in the taskbar. What exactly are you expecting to happen, outside of that? Commented Apr 27, 2022 at 12:36
  • That is entirely normal behavior - Windows 10 and 11. Screen brightens to normal after selection.

  • If, after you open the screen shot, it still seems all gray, start by running DISM / SFC ..... (1) Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. (2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup (3) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (4) SFC /SCANNOW (5) Restart when all the above is complete and test.

  • The snip is NOT supposed to have the same faded look. Please upload pictures showing this. Commented Apr 28, 2022 at 4:20
