Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.

When shutting down PC, i always have to select end program "Microsoft.shar", up to 3 times

Hello, ChiliJoe

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, you seem to be getting a shutdown inquiry popup from an application when your computer shuts down.

I can't seem to find the .shar program running on my computer.In order to help you better, I will first provide you some suggestions to troubleshoot some of the causes:

1. You can press ctrl+alt+delete before shutting down, open Task Manager to find the corresponding shar application, right-click to end it and see if the shutdown popup still appears.

2. Try shutting down your computer after a clean start and see if the popup still pops up.

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows - Microsoft Support

Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.

3. Since this seems to be a reminder to save data, you can find this app and close it to see if it still pops up.

You can continue to share some information here and I will continue to do some research for you based on your replies.

Thank you for your time and effort in resolving this issue.



Best regards
