Windows 10: Where did Paint go? How do I get it back?

I use Paint almost daily. I have an 11 month old HP laptop, which came with Windows 10. And with Paint.


Overnight, Paint disappeared. I used it yesterday. Today when I type paint in the search box, nothing.


Where is it? Where can I get it and download it?
