How to re-enable the Snipping Tool
After making a few tweaks here and there to your computer, you may find that the Windows Snipping Tool had disappeared. I use it quite often for this weblog so when it disappeared, I had quite a headache. I’m sure many also want to know how to bring this tool back.
First, open your Start Menu and type in programs and features.
Then choose “Turn Windows Features on or Off” from the side Menu.
You probably least expected this, but snipping tool falls under the Tablet PC Optional Components category.
Check it again, press OK, and your Snipping Tool will come back.

Kei:
Go here:
Control Panel (Switch to Classic View if not already) > Regional > Keyboards and Languages tab > Change Keyboards > Language Bar Tab > Configure as necessary
That should get your language bar back up. Sometimes it’s transparent and may be hard to spot. I’m not saying you’re blind but I have had trouble spotting it a couple of times before. Also, it is sometimes docked near your system tray.

Thank you very much! It helped me a lot. I had problems with the snipping tool, and I tried several things. I tried to copy the files from another computer also, but nothing worked until now. Thanks you!I can use my snipping tool again!!!
