Same here. You could also use `os.startfile('snippingtool')` if you want a simpler way without the subprocess overhead. Let me know if that works.

Just to confirm, are you looking to open the Snipping Tool itself, or do you want to capture the screen directly to a file? Hope that helps.

Yeah, You could also use the Print Screen key simulation with Python to quickly capture the full screen to your clipboard.
