MICROSOFT HAS CONFIRMED that it is no longer planning to remove Paint from Windows 10. For now at least.
The plan had originally been for the 33-year-old program to be depreciated in favour of the more modern Paint 3D, instead offering it as a free download from the Windows Store.
However, the popularity of Paint remains significant enough for the company to make a U-turn, meaning the forthcoming May 2019 Update to Windows 10 will continue to have Paint preinstalled.
