SnippingTool is a lightweight Windows screen capture and annotation tool.
Press Print Screen to draw a region, annotate with arrows, shapes, text, blur,
and numbered steps, then copy to clipboard, pin as a floating always-on-top window,
or record your screen to MP4 (H.264) or AVI. Includes built-in OCR to extract text
from any screenshot. No subscription, no telemetry.

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
