Snipping Tool in Windows 10: Here you will find the screenshot program

If Windows 10 is installed on your computer, it also has the snipping tool with which you can take screenshots. Although this tool is installed, it is difficult to find. To find it, do the following:

1. Open the Cortana search function in your start bar. Enter the term "Snipping Tool" there. The tool is displayed to you directly.
2. Alternatively, open your start menu using the Windows icon. Under the menu item "All apps" you will find the sub-item "Windows accessories". You will find the snipping tool there in alphabetical order.
3. With a right-click, you pin the tool directly to your taskbar and thus access the screenshot function more quickly in the future.
4. Or you can hold down the left mouse button when you are over the "Snipping Tool" icon and drag it to the desktop. To do this, release the mouse button as soon as the icon is in the desktop area.
5. If the snipping tool does not offer you the possibilities you imagine, there are a number of other screenshot tools. You can simply download it and then create a direct desktop shortcut for it.
