Windows 10: How do I rid my laptop of Microsoft Paint 3D?

When I want to send a photograph as an attachment in a google email Microsoft Paint 3D treats it as a "New Project."

Up comes a screen with palette colours, crayons tools etc. and because there is no simple option like "Send Photograph"

I have to wade through the usual swamp of Microsoft options just to send a simple photograph!

I hate this growing tendency to load computers up with all kinds of irrelevant and useless add-ons, whilst at the same time making it virtually impossible to complete a simple task quickly and efficiently.

There are no on screen alternatives like "What do you want to do?";only ones that guide you to add-ons, enhancements, and other crud that make using your computer a chore.

microsoft 3d paint

There have not been any changes to the app that I know of. Microsoft updates files automatically. They recently updated adobe flash player and defender but I didn't think that had anything to do with paint 3d. As far as which app I use when coloring,
I use the paint 3d app. I open a file on my computer that has the pictures. I have been doing this for a while now and all of a sudden, the fill-in option isn't there. That was one of the main things I used. I tried to run compatibility troubleshooting,
but I cannot find the file where the program is located. It does not appear on the list supplied to choose from. Do you still need a screenshot? The 'fill in' bucket is not on the list of paint brushed.
