I honestly didn’t realize I had been installing it… I went to boot paint.net and was surprised I couldn’t find it on my work computer… that’s how critical it is… or how often I don’t change personal hardware
No. Wordpad is the one being discontinued. Paint is one of several programs that can now be uninstalled from Windows by end users without any special tricks.
Huh… I thought they discontinued this program.
Who told you that? MS Paint is basically a critical windows utility.
If you remove mspaint.exe then Windows will refuse to boot. It’s true, I knew a guy!
Jokes aside you can boot Windows without Windows at all. By that I mean you can boot Windows NT without Win32.
They discontinued Paint 3D
They did. I guess the community outcry was so loud even Microsoft had to heed it and reverse course.
I thought so too. I remember looking for alternatives for when it would be removed completely.
Paint.NET has been my simple go to for over a decade. I’ve never got on with Gimp or Photoshop. Paint.NET is more like Paintshop Pro used to be.

I read that WordPad also was being discontinued, in the same article stating the same about MS Paint iirc
