About this tag
Snipping Tool updates on Windows 11 have recently focused on practical enhancements and a strategic shift in AI branding. Microsoft has added richer controls including trimming and GIF export, alongside a dedicated emoji taskbar icon and Start menu smart snap suggestions, targeting everyday productivity. At the same time, Microsoft is de-emphasizing the Copilot brand within Snipping Tool and Notepad, moving AI features into the background rather than removing them. This change matters for Windows loyalists and enterprise admins, as it signals that more AI visibility is not always better product design. These updates are rolling out to Insiders in staggered flights, reflecting a focus on real-world micro-tasks over flashy AI headlines.
