I've a valid copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and I've been using the Snipping Tool for 2 years and now it doesn't work anymore. When I click it it shows a blank dialogue box. I've searched a bit and all the solutions included taking a look at Programs and
Features because the Tablet PC Components might be disabled, however mine was activated, so I have no idea of what's going on.
I would suggest you to try the below methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
I would suggest you to uncheck and then re-check the tablet pc option from Windows features and check if it helps.
Refer the below steps:
a. Click on ‘Start’.
b. Type ‘Windows features’ in search option and select from the list.
c. Scroll down the list and uncheck the option “Tablet pc components”.
d. Click on ‘OK’.
e. Restart the computer.
Now check the same option and see if it helps.

I also suggest you to try System File Checker (SFC scan) on the computer and check if it helps.
