MS Paint (the real one) to be removed in Windows 10 Fall Update - Sensationalist Headlines

Necrobump. But I bet you're thinking. "Like what the fuck, it's still around, after two years??" By this time, you've probably already forgotten that Microsoft intended to remove it at all https://twitter.com/brandonleblanc/status/1120554869570572290?s=21 Product alert has been missing on the insider for a while. But I can assume there's been quite a considerable shift internally regarding the path Microsoft is taking windows over the past several months

Not until you bumped the article saying it was being removed. I'm pretty sure everyone already knew Microsoft caved and said they'd keep it.

Their cave in was "it will be on the store"

Here's a feature for yall: An option to choose what gets installed or not on my fucking Pro license. I don't take it lightly seeing Zynga trash on my start menu on first boot.

So what about Snipping Tool then? That's next on the chopping block.

I'm glad it stayed. Just like with windows calculator, I actually use this tool a lot. Clearly not for actual artistic means, but for quickly cropping something, modifying a screenshot, or to do a very crude sketch of something. Anything more complex than that and I'll open up photoshop. MSPaint opens

3D Maze masterrace? I still use that timeless classic heh

Man I was looking for who to ban, the answer is no one because you provided content. It's fun seeing old posts I don't even remember posting, like my "Windows store complaining about drives" post up at the top.

My company forced a corporate screen saver and locked us out of the display control panel, will this remove the screen saver if I automatically update? Please God yes

what the fuck no i still use this for quick editting

is there a lightweight alternative that boots up just as fast? I sometimes use it to quickly cut images, paint.net has loading times which are fast but not instant

They're not removing it, it's an old thread. They were thinking about killing it off and turning it into a legacy program back in 2017, but eventually decided against it

We have screen sketch now. I'm unsure if Microsoft will remove the binary for it though

I mean, is it really that much longer? Is it really going to kill you to pause for one whole second? Besides you can open and leave it running all day. Its not like it uses much memory. It just seems silly to complain that a program with a far larger feature set takes about 2 seconds longer (tops) to open.

Irfanview is lightning fast and can be used for simple cuts, crops and other adjustments as well. That is in addition to it's primary function of being an excellent photo viewer.

cant do this in paint https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/458919/53925325-b138-40c2-adeb-e3f94f3d2945/image.png

But why? Sure, Paint 3D is an "upgrade", but paint itself isn't one of the things that necessarily has to go, imo.

I don't think you get 3rd party bloat with a pro license.

Edited the shit out of @chipsnapper 's OP to warn people it's an old thread
