Microsoft has started to roll out the first set of updates for several apps that are included as part of Windows 11. The updates will be initially available to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. The company has released updated Snipping, Calculator apps with new features and capabilities.
The classic Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch apps have been replaced by a new Snipping app, which is integrated with next-generation features for screen capture for Windows. The Snipping tool for Windows 11 includes new visuals and added functionality like the WIN+SHIFT+S keyboard shortcut borrowed from Snip & Sketch. Microsoft also introduced a new Settings page for Snipping tool.
You can capture screenshot just by using the WIN+SHIFT+S keyboard shortcut. You will view the Snipping menu with options such as Rectangular Snip, Freeform Snip, Windows Snip, and Fullscreen Snip. The Snipping Tool displays editing tools for annotations, improved cropping, and additional editing options for the captured screenshots.
The Snipping Tool has been updated to sync with the dark mode. If you are working with the Dark mode, then Snipping tool will appear in dark mode. You will receive a notification pop-up after capturing a screenshot if you have notifications turned off or Focus Assist has been activated. However, the captured screenshot will be copied to your clipboard.
