    Why is microsoft updating non-microsoft applications


    I have been noticing lately that I have applications, things like itunes, notepad++, putty, 7zip, etc, that have been updated without my permission or knowledge.

    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.
