Paint 3D is a tool I use for tasks regularly and I want to know why its shutting down all of a sudden

there's not enough information on why you cant keep it up, update it, or make a better version of it to fit windows 11.

The removal of Paint 3D shouldn't be necessary.

If it really has to go then I would like to know why you cant either save or remake it or even incorporate it into existing applications.

HAHA MICROSOFT ITS 24TH JANUARY 2025 RIGHT? GUESS WHAT. YOU DEPRECATED PAINT 3D ON NOVEMBER 4TH LAST YEAR. RIGHT? NOW I HAVE PAINT 3D ON MY WINDOWS 11 FRESH INSTALL!

I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF MICROSOFT AND SAY, WELL AND TRULY, WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP PAINT 3D. NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY THERE IS ALWAYS A BACKDOOR, A METHOD TO REINSTALL IT!

Toast Mike, here is the file for Paint 3D, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ylSw1pvV-PPZ5pFYY5F8EGwStwPNdPUc/view Download the full thing and double click to install it. All functions are there.

Godspeed.

    As I understand it the author they brazenly thieved Paint 3D from finally got their day in court & too bad for MS it wasn't before a corrupt Trump Judge...mwah, mwah mwah... therefore they lost. I guess the Billy Gates, Donny Trump, Jeffry Epstein child-rapist school of business where one "steals all within grasping distance & gives nothing back" doesn't always work out

    Cool thanks. Will the installer still work after they take Paint 3D down from the store on November 4, 2024? Just Curious.

    Let's be real, it was regular ms paint that should have been gotten rid of, but Microsoft decided to be dumb and update their almost 40 year old program with a couple new features instead of a new one, which was more feature rich and useable.

    Microsoft did try to do that, actually, but Paint 3D wasn't such a big hit. And if you still want Paint 3D, follow these instructions to download the package from the MS Store and keep them to install any time.

    Yeah, seriously, what's the problem with letting us have both Paint and Paint 3D? You're not seriously expecting us to believe that Paint 3D is somehow a high maintenance program that's costing you to keep it around, are you? I don't believe the excuse that not enough people are probably using it. It's not a commercial app, so ROI isn't a factor!

    Is this like taking our legacy Solitaire and Minesweeper away from Windows and putting them into the Microsoft Store after monetizing them with ads? Are you trying to lose more good will from your user base?

    And you're getting rid of WordPad too. I don't use that one, but I've recommended it to the very elderly who don't have money for 365 and only need the basics (but more than Notepad). Who's making all these terrible decisions at Microsoft??
