Snipping Tool - missing menu

Press the three-dot menu.

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

Are you referring to the Print option inside the Snipping Tool app after taking a screenshot, or the Print Screen button on the keyboard?

On some newer Windows 11 builds, Microsoft has changed parts of the Snipping Tool interface, so some options may appear differently or be hidden under the 3 dots (...) menu. Try updating the app first through Microsoft Store > Library > Get updates, then restart the PC.

You can also check this Microsoft guide for the current Snipping Tool features and layout: https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots-00246869-1843-655f-f220-97299b865f6b

What exact menu are you missing? If possible, could you also share a screenshot of the Snipping Tool window?

In current Windows 11 Snipping Tool, the Print option is only available after the snip has been saved as an image file, or via the app’s File menu depending on the experience in use.

From the documented behavior:

• After capturing a snip, it opens in Snipping Tool where it can be edited and then saved or shared.
• Printing is done either:
  • Directly from Snipping Tool via File > Print (for that capture), or
  • By going to the folder where the snip was saved, right‑clicking the image, and choosing Print.

If the Print option is not visible in the Snipping Tool window, use this supported path:

1. Capture the snip.
2. Select Save (or Save as) and choose a location.
3. In File Explorer, go to that folder, right‑click the saved snip, and select Print.

On some builds/variants, the UI emphasizes saving and sharing, and the documented fallback is to print from File Explorer rather than from a visible Print button inside the Snipping Tool editor.
