    snipping tool and taskbar


    Until a few days ago, I had a snipping tool which was fixed to my task bar. I use it a lot - and I mean a lot - so that's the place it's most convenient. But today I go to use it and it's no longer there! I had an update a day or two ago so I suppose that's when/where it went.

    Anyway, managed to locate it and created a shortcut to my desktop but cannot get it fixed into my task bar again!
    When I open the dialogue box it does say "pin to start" but that's not the same as task bar, is it?

    Can anyone help me?

    (Oh, and I tried the 'restore previous version' option but it did nothing)

    Run Snipping Tool, when it's running right click it in taskbar and select Pin to taskbar:

    You can now close Snipping Tool, it remains pinned.

    Thank you so much. However, when I do that, the only option I get is 'close window'
    And you will note the icon in the task bar is blank as well - is that significant?

    The icon in your screenshot is wrong, for some reason it's not the actual Snipping Tool tool that you have there.

    Try this:

    Using Cortana / Search, search for Snipping Tool. Right click it in search results, select Pin to taskbar:

    Now you should have it pinned:
