    Hi @Julie Powell

    There is no 'native' way to download the old Windows 10 snipping tool back to Windows 11 unless the Windows.old directly still exists.

    You may restore the old snipping tool by following this non-official article: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-restore-old-snipping-tool-in-windows-11

    Best regards,

    Hi Julie,

    The link that was posted is 3 years old.

    Snipping Tool is what replaced Snip & Sketch.
