Windows 10: How to reinstall MS Paint

From ~3 months ago, i've been suffering from weird bug on MS paint.

(When using multiple instances of ms paint, once one of them is minimized than reactivated, either the cursor or the selected area automatically slides toward one of the eight direction, which make the project unusable)

Since paint is not being updated anymore, i tried to reinstall (or update if that's the case) but couldn't find any reliable way to. Can anyone help me on this?
