    Why was Paint 3D installed instead of MS paint?


    When I tried to install Microsoft Paint using Windows Powershell Admin, it installed Paint 3D instead of MS Paint. How and why did this happen and how do I install Paint instead of Paint 3D without using the Microsoft Store because I'm using a Windows 10 device.

    :)

    MS Paint and Paint 3D.

    Still using WIN 10 (my PC won't run 11). I still make use of both MS Paint and Paint 3D. Since the recent Windows update KB5039211 the button in Paint "edit with Paint 3D" no longer works. Instead I get a message "You'll need a new app to open this ms-paint link. Look for an app in the Microsoft Store". Clicking "OK" takes me to the MS Store indicating Paint 3D is installed. I can then open it and select the Paint image I want. Which means 8 mouse clicks instead of one. The other annoyance is that, right clicking on an image and selecting "open with" brings up a list of all my image editing apps. Except Paint 3D. I did think about uninstalling the update but I am wary of doing that as it includes a security update. So another solution please.
