    Microsoft Paint won't open in Windows 10


    Hi,


    I have been using MS Paint on my PC with Windows 10 for several years without any issues, but as of today 11.04.21, the program has stopped opening at all. However I try to open the program, nothing happens. I don't get any error messages at all.


    Please advise.

    :)

    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.
