Windows 10: Snipping Tool - Ink option to draw no longer available

Windows 11 Snipping Tool no longer provides the ability to draw/highlight something with ink/color. what happened????? where is it and/or how do I bring it back. I've uninstalled the program and re-installed from Microsoft store, but still does not show that option.

Snipping tool no longer available

After Reset PC the snipping tool is no longer available. If I search for Snipping Tool nothing shows up.

How do I install Snipping Tool after a Reset PC?

 

Windows snipping tool highlight straight

Windows snipping tool doesn't have any way to let us draw straight lines by pressing Shift. Windows Ink Workspace is another tool that supports snipping and drawing the snipped portion. It has a virtual ruler that helps us to draw straight lines.

To enable Windows Ink Workspace

To launch the workspace, click or tap the pen-shaped Windows Ink Workspace icon that appears in your notification area.





Tap the "Screen sketch" block. It will be the third block in the list. It will automatically take a screenshot of your display and load it for your sketching.





Navigate to the pen bar at the top right of the screen.

Select the ruler icon. This looks like a diagonal ruler.

Place the mouse on top of the ruler and use mouse scroll wheel to rotate and position the ruler.

Hope this helps.
