Snipping Tool

Snipping Tool is an application that already exists in Windows, and has even existed since Windows Vista. The Snipping Tool itself has been removed from the list of applications in the Start menu, but you can still access it easily via search.

To use it, you must first click the New button to start the screenshot process. The types of screenshots you can take using the Snipping Tool vary widely, from rectangles, freeform, full screen, and windows.
