At the end of the delay the Snipping Tool automatically becomes active without the user having to click, and therefore the context menu or object handles do not disappear and a screenshot can be taken of them. Then during that delay one opens the context menu, or selects the object so that its handles appear, and waits for the delay to lapse. To use the delay feature, one opens the Snipping Tool and sets a delay of a few seconds. Without the delay feature it would not be possible to take a screenshot showing context menus and object handles because these disappear when any other item (such as the Snipping Tool itself) is clicked on. The delay function is valuable for taking a screenshot showing context menus, or handles that appear around a graphic object when that object is selected. Windows 10 added a new 'Delay' function, which allows for timed capture of screenshots. In Windows 11 insider build 22000.132, released on August 12, 2021, the legacy version of Snipping Tool was replaced with a rebranded and updated version of Snip & Sketch. In April 2021, Microsoft released Windows 10 Insider build 21354, which made Snipping Tool updateable from the Microsoft Store. It had been replaced by Snip & Sketch in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update however, it is still available in the aforementioned update.

It was originally released as a PowerToy for the Microsoft Tablet PC launch on November 7, 2002. Before Windows Vista, Snipping Tool was included in Experience Pack for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.
