Hai,

Microsoft may be removing paint in Windows 10's Fall Creators update

Paint has been part of Windows since 1985

Microsoft Paint has been part of Windows since 1985, from Windows 1.0 all the way to Windows 10. Now after over three decades of use the company plans on abandoning the program, ceasing development and removing it from Windows with their Fall Creators update.

When the company released their Creators update earlier this year they added a new program called Paint 3D, a new program that offers 3D image creation tools as well as some traditional 2D image function. Right now, it looks like Microsoft plans on replacing Paint with this new app, while also replacing 3D Builder in a single swoop.

Paint is not the only app that will be retired with this new update, with 3D Builder, Outlook Express (replaced by Outlook App and Mail), Reader App, Reading List and Powershell 2.0 being removed from OS when the Fall Creators update is released. A full list of deprecated features is available to view here.

What needs to be noted here is that depreciated does not mean dead, as Microsoft may choose to simply not update the app rather than simply removing it outright. Being on the depreciated list means that it can be removed with Microsoft's next major update, though that is by no means a confirmation.

One likely scenario is that Microsoft will allow Paint3D and Paint to live alongside each other for another while, to lessen the blow of a sudden loss of the app, though Microsoft could easily decide to remove it as quickly as possible to for users to use Paint3D sooner.

Hai,

Features that are removed or deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

The following features and functionalities in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update are either removed from the product in the current release (“Removed”) or are not in active development and might be removed in future releases (“Deprecated”).

Microsoft plans to release the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the next feature update for Windows 10 in a couple of months.

The Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 will introduce new functionality but also remove some that were available in previous versions of the operating system.

Microsoft published a Support article that highlights removed or deprecated features in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

The difference between removed and deprecated is the following: removed features are no longer available in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Deprecated features, on the other hand, are not in active development at the point in time and likely to be removed in future updates. They are still available in the new version of Windows 10 however.

Microsoft plans to remove or block popular or long standing features in the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10. Most notable are probably the deprecation of the classic Paint application, the blocking of EMET, and the deprecation of the screen saver functionality.

Paint has been the default image editor on Windows for a long time. Microsoft launched Paint 3D in the Windows 10 Creators Update and seems to have made the decision to remove legacy Paint from the Fall Creators Update.

Microsoft EMET will be blocked in the Windows 10 Fall Creators update, and Microsoft suggests that users configure the new Exploit Protection feature of Windows Defender instead.

This list is intended to help customers consider these removals and deprecations for their own planning. The list is subject to change and may not include every deprecated feature or functionality.
