    I am using the Windows 11 leaked build though, but this problem does not seem to be with the Windows, i use MS Paint every day and used it for a full day after installing Windows 11 BUT from today whenever i am opening Paint, it opens in background but cannot use it. Here i will provide my Task Manager screenshot. It was running fine on my first day of Windows 11. Also, paint opens up after some time randomly. I tried restarting but in vain.

    :)

    I cannot open ms paint

    I cannot open ms paint - the original one that came with Windows 10. It is still listed in System 32, but nothing happens when I click it.

    Can't open MS Paint in Windows 10

    For no reason I can think of, Microsoft Paint has stopped opening properly. Double-clicking on an image file, the taskbar shortcut, or the original .exe files has no apparent effect. However, I found multiple instances of Paint under Background Processes
    in the Task Manager, and right-clicking on the shortcut brings up a list of recently opened files -- all the files I'd been trying to open without success. It's as though Paint
    is opening, but in another dimension?!
