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.

Microsoft Store and other apps such as Calc and Photos won't launch after Windows' update

After an update, Microsoft Store and several other apps such as Photos and Calculator stopped working. Clicking on them would open a window's frame for a split second, then immediately disappear without any error message.

I also noticed that in the pictures' properties, at the "Open with" line, Photos had been replaced by "TWINUI".

After a quick googling it appeared the problem was related to incoherences in the apps packages, however none of the guides I followed worked for me.

Another symptom was that the app's names weren't displayed in Windows' program list, instead they were shown as follow :





There are different suggestions that I found on the Internet, but none of them are relevant in my situation :

• sfc /scannow
  
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
• In powershell : Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$.InstallLocation -like
  "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode
  -Register "$($.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  
• Downloading the migration tool from Microsoft's website and updating over the current installation
  
• Running Windows' problem diagnosis tools
  

 

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store
