What are the reasons why “Snip Could Not Be Sent” in Windows 10?

What are the reasons why "Snip Could Not Be Sent" in Windows 10?

The system fails to accept email when it does not have a MAPI-compatible email client installed. It is necessary to install a mail client that supports MAPI or the Send to -> Mail operation, because today’s mail application does not support MAPI or Send to -> Mail.

There can be an error message related to no default mail client even if the MSIComponentID and default mail client values are correctly set.

Save the entire registry before making any changes to it, or export the keys that you’d like to change.
