However, despite the speculation, the snipping tool currently remains and is available alongside Microsoft Windows new Snip and Sketch Utility. However, if you have had the latest Windows Update then you will notice there is a message advising the Snipping tool is moving as shown below.

We will have to wait and see if this tool is removed in the future or not. If you would like to know more about the Snip and Sketch tool then please click here.

My Snipping tool looks different?

Please note if your snipping tool looks like the one above, it is because your version of Microsoft Windows is not up to date. All of the walk-throws above will work, instead of clicking the Mode button, you will need to click the arrow next to New.

I think that it depends of the BIOS, not OS. It is not working for me. Intel ibautil.exe download. At the system reboot the driver appears with yellow exclamation mark and is not working!!! I will repeat my question: Does anybody knows if the Ethernet card is onboard and cannot be flashed by Bootutil, is there any Flash utility issued by Lenovo capable to reconfigure the Eeprom of intel pro 1000 pl?In Windows 7 or Windows XP the ethernet driver is present and is working normally /but without MAC address/ by initial boot.
