Microsoft Will Update Windows 10 Paint and Snipping Tool via the Store Apr 8, 2021 16:58 GMT Snipping Tool on Windows 10 The classic Windows Paint app showed up in the Microsoft Store earlier this week, and now Microsoft has confirmed that it doesn’t come alone. In addition to MSPaint, the Snipping Tool is also making its way to the Microsoft Store, a change that would allow the software giant to update both apps without relying on Windows Update. The Snipping Tool was originally supposed to be retired and replaced by Snip & Sketch, but now that it’s published in the Microsoft Store, the two can be serviced together in a more efficient way.
