Windows 10: Paint mspaint.exe or Paint pbrush.exe Which should I use?

My Explorer for Windows 11 has problems. The Preview pane will show .txt, PDF, .docx and other text based items, but it doesn't photos. No .jpg, .png or .bmp. All I see is the Photos icon. Under the Apps > Default apps, the three choices are Photos, Media Player and Windows Photo Viewer. Almost all are set with Photos being the default. What can I change to get the Previewer working?

Paint 3D - where is the exe?

Hey,

Ï am wanting to use Paint 3D to edit pictures that have to be delivered from a particular program so I need to find the .exe to allow that program to interact with Paint 3D.

Where do I find the Paint 3D .exe file to link to?

Thanks kindly.

 

Paint... what happened to it

I loved the original MS Paint, and 3D paint is good. But it is not a substitute for good ol' MSPaint.

But it is no longer on my Windows 10 (I have 2 other Windows 10 computers, both have Paint, but my new Windows 10 computer only has 3D Paint).

So, I should be able to get the .exe off my other Windows 10 computers, right?

Any suggestions?
