Snipping Tool Change - REALLY?

Question

There is nothing modern about the snipping tool change for Windows 11. It is a waste of time and the alternative is also junk. The new snipping tool is ridiculous and does not even work. I tried it and it does not work. Please remove it entirely from Windows 11 it is useless, worthless, a waste of time. Read what users are writing about this change. Modernizing should imply more useful for today's workload, not a complete waste of time and space. Git rid of it and replace with a copy and paste alternative. We already have recording tools; we need a simple quick copy and paste alternative for large data fields.

Answer 1

Hi C,

Snipping Tool, in fact, is the best tool in Windows 11 for Screen snipping.

It works perfectly fine.

May I know what exactly happens when you say it does not work?

• In the Windows search, 
• Type cmd, right-click it, and choose Run as Administrator.

Execute this command:

winget uninstall 9mz95kl8mr0l

Press Y when prompted.

Restart the PC.

Again in an elevated Window, enter:

winget install 9mz95kl8mr0l

I assure you I would ensure the Snipping tool works flawlessly if you follow the troubleshooting as advised.

I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.
