Recently, some Windows 10 PCs have started showing reports that the Paint app will soon be removed from the operating system. But the situation seems to be . Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Manager, Windows Insider Program at Microsoft that the app will be included in the Windows 10 May 2019 Update.
He did not specify the reason for such a “change of course”. It is important to note that Paint is considered obsolete in Redmond, that is, it is no longer being developed. Perhaps in the future it will still be removed, especially since Microsoft planned to remove it from the top ten and allow it to be installed from the Microsoft Store at will. Instead of Paint, it was planned to use Paint 3D, where they were going to transfer the main features of the program.
One way or another, at the moment, two drawing applications remain in Windows 10. This is yet another example of Microsoft abandoning ambitious plans to modernize Windows in favor of stability. In the same May update, although there will be "Start", as well as other work has been carried out, but no major changes are planned.
This leads some to wonder if Microsoft plans to cut further investment in its operating system. On the one hand, this approach will improve the performance of the “tens” on current devices, and on the other hand, it will make it difficult to support future form factors, such as PCs with folding screens. In general, it is too early to draw conclusions in this regard. It is important that at the moment the company does not abandon Paint, which many people like for its simplicity and speed of work.
