Windows 10: The Paint program seems to be having an issue...

The Paint program seems to be having an issue. The File, Edit, and Crop button seem to not be responsive when I hover or click them. Is this an issue on my end with the computer, or an issue with the program itself?

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.
