To start the Snipping Tool app on Windows after downloading it, you can follow these steps:

  1. Press the "Windows" key on your keyboard or click the Start button in the lower-left corner of your screen.
  2. Type "Snipping Tool" in the search bar.
  3. Select the Snipping Tool from the search results to open the app.

If you're using Windows 10 or later, you may also find the more advanced "Snip & Sketch" app, which has replaced the traditional Snipping Tool. You can open it in a similar manner by searching for "Snip & Sketch" instead.
