Paint & Notepad won't allow exit - forces save as

What scripted text? I wrote out all of these posts after researching your problem. So are you saying you didnt' even try the steps before giving me a bad rating, and now you've given me another one.?

I had the same problem when I opened Paint and Notepad as you. I found a fix that is to click on the File tab, then choose Save As, then Other Formats. This opens a box I canceled, which then allows me to X out of the Paint window from it's top right corner.
Did you try this?
