The other day while composing how to turn on or off Fast startup in Windows 10 guide, I wanted to take a couple of snapshots of the Settings app using the built-in Snipping Tool. When I typed Snipping Tool in the Start search box, the Start menu didn’t show Snipping Tool in search results. The Start menu search didn’t help me to launch Snipping Tool even after multiple attempts and a system reboot.
Surprisingly, Snipping Tool entry was even missing from the Accessories folder (All apps > Windows Accessories) of the Start menu.
