MS Paint Paste Image Problem

Paint left white artifacts around the edges of an image pasted onto another image. How can I get rid of these?

Specifics:

I have Windows 10, latest update (today) with MS Paint on a PC

1. Trimmed part of an image using the background color set to white with the eraser tool

2. Selected all with transparent selection active

3. Copied image to the clipboard

4. Opened another image and set selection type to Transparent

5. Pasted original image. It left white artifacts around the edges of the pasted image.

 

MS Paint Paste Image Problem

how can I send you screenshot?

1. I do [print screen] on a window [ALT/PrintScreen]

2. Paste to Paint - it comes 15% less in size

3. Paste to MS Word - it comes in 100% of a size

Paint was working fine for 15 years, until a month ago..
