When click New on the snipping tool my screen goes black the snip saves as a black square. I have Windows 10 Home. I've checked that I also have the latest graphics driver.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
If the Snipping Tool doesn't work properly, for example, Snipping Tool shortcut, eraser, or pen not working, you may kill the Snipping Tool and restart it. Press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" on the keyboard together to show the Task Manager. Find and kill the SnippingTool.exe, then relaunch it for a try.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
