Microsoft Paint or Microsoft Paint Application: As reported last week, Microsoft will remove certain features in the upcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (also known as Redstone 3).
Immediately after the company's announcement, many media outlets were quick to announce that the company will be retiring the very popular Paint app after 32 years on the operating system. system.
Although Microsoft referred to Paint as an abandoned application, the company meant it would focus much more on Paint 3D. So the prediction that made enough media for the withdrawal of the Paint tool turned out to be out of focus, as Microsoft itself issued a statement explaining that this is not going to happen.
Microsoft reported that Microsoft Paint will not go anywhere when the Windows 10 Fall update is released Creators Update, except for the Windows Store.
The company is planning to release a version of Classic Paint in the Windows Store, which means the app will continue to receive updates and enhancements, although it will no longer be part of the operating system.
"Today, we saw an incredible one explosion of support and nostalgia for MS Paint. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of friends. It was amazing to see so much love and trust for our old app. Through today's commentary around MS Paint, we'd like to take this opportunity to clear up some confusion and share some good news," explains Megan Saunders, General Manager, 3D for Everyone Initiative, Windows Experience.
“MS Paint is here to stay, and it's getting a new one home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free.”
This means that Paint is moved to the Windows Store and that Microsoft will abandon it to other Windows versions.

The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is expected to be released in September.
