One of my current IP computers:

A note: the Snipping Tool is gone just as promised/warned.
I just got Build 17735 on 2 IP computers, 1 had the Snipping Tool removed and the 2nd had it removed but the icon on the Taskbar remained but was dead.
If you want, you can keep a copy of the snipping tool from earlier versions and run that. Same goes for MS Paint, as I said here.
You simply need to take copies of two files for each app while you still can. These are the *.exe and its associated *.mui, to be found in a subfolder appropriate to the base language of your Windows install (en-US, en-GB or whatever). Put the .exe in any folder you want and the .mui in a subfolder with the name of the language.

They work if you put them in any location. The only requirement is that the .mui is in an en-us folder in the folder you put the .exe (or en-gb in my case).
I keep all my 'historic' .exe files (MS Paint being another) in an 'Old Windows apps' folder I created in Program Files then pin them to the taskbar or Start so I can easily run them. I prefer not to put them in their original locations as they may well get removed by the next Features Update to 1809.
In fact, you can have several versions in different folder and run them simultaneously - even using a 32-bit one in an x64 machine. Here's two different vintages of MS Paint on an x64 PC, the older one is x86, copied from another PC.
