<h5>With the latest version of Windows 10 (build 17063), Microsoft started notifying users that Paint will soon be replaced with Paint 3D.</h5>

<p>The Paint was part of the first version of Windows 1.0 which was released back in November 1985. During that time it was licensed under ZSoft Corporation&#8217;s PC Paintbrush and it supported 1-bit monochrome graphics.</p>
<p>Microsoft will probably remove the famous Paint app from Windows 10 in the next &#8220;Redstone 4&#8221; release planned for April 2018.</p>
<p>Although classic Paint will be removed from Windows, it will still be available as an optional download from Microsoft Store.</p>
<p>The Paint app has collected many fans during all these years and Microsoft had to find a new home for it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the announcement made on MS Blog:</p>
<blockquote><p>Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint. If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans. It’s been amazing to see so much love for our trusty old app.</p>
<p>MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free.</p></blockquote>
<p>I am personally also one of the classic Paint apps fans. I don&#8217;t even know how to resize an image in Paint 3D app! Could be just because I&#8217;m an old-school guy :)</p>
