  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 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.

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