Centralised Group Policy Objects (GPOs) on the Windows Domain, can block any EXE that's on the machine, or a customised deployment image of Windows 10 can even be configured to not installed any of the built in applications. So yes, no snipping tool on a deployed installation of Windows 10 is a real scenario.
Also, GPOs can (and do) disable the Windows Store. So moving MSPaint to the Windows Store does not make as available as having it pre-installed.

- praseodym 9y agoIf a machine is blocking built-in applications, why would it have MSPaint available? Or is it an application that cannot be blocked, which would be a security vulnerability?
