Whether we admit it or not, Microsoft Paint is a very useful tool although it’s not the most advanced piece of digital creativity. In 2017, Microsoft announced that it would no longer include the program in Windows by default. It would only be offering it as a free download via the Microsoft Store.

A source said that the software will be left on Windows 10.  “It’ll remain included in Windows 10 for now,” Microsoft developer Brandon LeBlanc tweeted, confirming its inclusion in the upcoming 1903 update in May. MS Paint is a simple yet useful way to do graphic work and image processing for free on a Windows computer. The program has been part of the Microsoft operating system since Windows 95. The predecessor Paintbrush goes even further back into the Windows past.

There’s also a successor in the form of the more modern Paint 3D, offering more advanced functions than the Windows veteran.
