Where is the Snipping Tool in Windows 10?
Where is the Snipping Tool in Windows 10?
I can't get it to appear in my start menu when I'm typing its name, like I could before Windows 10.
Is there a built-in alternative?
(Of course, we know about PrintScreen and Alt+PrintScreen, that's not the question...)
After several answers it turns out that the real problem was that the Windows Indexing Service was turned off to prolongue my SSD's lifespan (Thanks, Samsung Magician) ...

You could just find Snipping Tool from the Start Menu. If you don't find it on the Start Menu, then you should Rebuild your Index
To rebuild the Windows Search index, head back to
Control Panel > Indexing Options
. Click the Advanced button and make sure you’re on the Index Settings tab of the Advanced Options window.
It's %windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe.
Alternatively if you don't have indexing enabled and don't want to use your mouse..
Windows Key + R to show the run prompt
then enter snippingtool and press enter
You can also simply press the Start button and type Snip and it will appear.
If you can't or don't want to search the start menu using the search function, or if you want to leave your indexing service disabled, then you can browse to the snipping tool this way:
Start -> All Apps -> Windows Accessories -> Snipping Tool
Snipping tool is still there! To open the Snipping Tool, just type Snipping in the start menu and you can see the desktop app or You can find it by browsing to the below location:
2C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe
Windows 10 includes OneNote built in. Win+S is the hotkey for screen clipping and then save it in a notebook or click 'Copy to clipboard'
2I got rid of Cortana for security reasons but I just click "all apps" scroll down to "windows accessories" scroll down to "snipping tool". I would drag it to the task bar for future 1 click access. I was surprised by how much I use it.
