However, this does make it very likely that Paint will never see a new update, and might eventually become incompatible with future versions of Windows. For example, Internet Explorer is still a part of Windows 10, but is neither on the task bar, nor the default web browser.Īlongside Paint, Outlook Express (remember that?!), Reader app, Windows Powershell 2.0 and some other apps have also been added to the deprecated list.Īlthough, Paint is in the “deprecated” list, but that does not mean it would be gone for good just yet there’s still no official time frame or date for when Microsoft intends to completely remove the application. However, it is not necessary that deprecation means the complete disappearance of Paint, it might mean that it would get harder to find in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. This new app would feature 3D image making tools, as well as, basic 2D image editing. Logically, Microsoft would be dedicating its efforts towards Paint 3D, which is an overhauled version of the original image editor that was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows 10 Creators Update earlier this year. Microsoft continued to update the application, and users grew to value and embrace its limited but fun set of features.Įven though this news is pretty sad, but it’s not a surprising one. First, choose a color from the color palette, or use the eyedropper to pick up a color already in your workspace. Explore the brushes and tools in Paint 3D from the Art tools menu. Paint may never have been recognized as one of the best or most capable image editing apps, but if someone wanted to make a quick doodle using their mouse or a quick copy paste job, Paint was the first app they turned to. Paint 3D is the latest evolution of classic Paint, with a ton of new art tools to try on your 2D canvas or 3D objects. We'll have to wait and see if Paint 3D makes the cut in the next version of Microsoft's operating system though the company has an event (opens in new tab) planned for later this month that will shed more light on Windows 11.The venerable application had a lifetime of 32 years and was initially released as monochrome, bitmap Windows 1.0 drawing program, back in November 1985. If you don't have automatic updates set up in the Microsoft Store, you can also manually download the update by following these instructions (opens in new tab). Thankfully the security researchers have not observed an exploits in the wild or publicly available proof-of-concept code which means that Windows users should be safe for now.Īt the same time, Microsoft has also issued a patch to address the vulnerability that is now rolling out to users' systems via the Microsoft Store (opens in new tab). ZDI discovered this vulnerability using a technique called fuzzing (opens in new tab) earlier this year and it then reported its findings to Microsoft back in February. However, in order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first need to achieve privilege escalation on a targeted system before persuading a user to open a malicious file or website.
