Windows 10: What happened to snippet and winzip

Some Windows built-in features are optional and can be removed/added back by the user in 'Manage optional features' (IE and Media Player are optional). Snipping Tool isn't an option, it should be there.

It may be that the Start Menu is incomplete and doesn't list it, the actual .exe for the tool should be found at:
%windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe

 

I gave you the link about the Snipping Tool. See post #4. You are making this harder on yourself by arguing about it, when we have given you enough information to look it up to help you close this, instead of dragging it out.

 

Okay. But please understand that I am only trying to be careful. I had no intention of arguing. I appreciate the answers. I am just baffled as to what happened to my snipping tool.

I am a little reluctant to install something directly from a download on the web. I will try it, but understand it goes all of my training.

But please do not think that I am not grateful for the help. I am.

Respectfully,

 

When I tried to install the snipping tool from the website address in post #4, it started asking for my email address. and then gave me the option of "add extension". I had no idea what they were talking about and so I said no which cancelled the download and the install.

Is this stuff supposed to happen? It sees like I was trying to be tricked into agreeing to something that I might regret.

Is this the only website that actually has the snipping tool ready for download and install?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lou Reed,
This reply is not meant to solve your Snipping Tool issue.
This reply is to offer you a more Advanced and FREE screen-capture program which I have been using for years.
It is called Picpick.
It is very easy to use and it offers many options for screen capturing.

Give it a try. You might end up saying " What snipping tool ? "

 

Look in Start, windows, accessories.

 

I use Lightshot for Windows, brain dead easy to use. Interface is very intuitive and many tutorial vids. Some browsers offer it as an add-on but that only works on web pages. The tiny, full program will enable a screenshot for everything, no email req'd or ads -

First off you are not downloading the Snippet Tool from anywhere, you are just reinstalling it, since it resides on the OS in a folder for the system. Second off, if you downloaded Windows, you do realize that 7-zip has been downloaded by millions of users and is used over Winzip, since it is light weight and is used for all available file types, even .rar. There is no website to download the Snipping Tool from, because if you had gone to the one link about it, it tells you how to find it.

 

I reinstalled Windows 10 with the new update and everything is fine. I am unable to determine if I am still running windows 10 Pro. I go to system then click on about and it is not there. I used to run build 1703, I do not know what build I am running now.

Respectfully,

 

Should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32\SnippingTool.exe, I have it here in win10 pro.

 

Several ways to find out.
Here is one of them.........
In the Cortana search bar, type winver > Enter.
It will tell you what you have.

 

Yes, I was clumsy and did not read the whole line after clicking about. All the info is further down the page. Was this a free upgrade, I never was asked to pay for anything during this upgrade install.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

 

Win10 Upgrades are all free.

 

Maybe for not much longer. MS have announced assistive upgrade will end on 31/12/17.

 

Are you sure you wasn't trying to download 7-Zip from post #5?
