    Windows Update service seems to be working but the microsoft store says other ways


    So recently I stumbled upon a really strange problem. Basically, the Windows Update service was running like usual but the Microsoft store said that it was not running and didn't allow me to update or install anything so I like a normal person was trying to fix that problem but it didn't work. Just I was wondering if somebody had the same problem and if so how to fix it.

    :)

    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.
