Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc confirmed today that the classic Paint will remain in Windows 10 for the time being and will be available as part of the May 2019 Update. Its removal alert is also gone.
Microsoft Paint was one of the apps marked for deprecation in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Although Paint had since remained available to users, it never received any new feature as it faced the possibility of getting axed from Windows 10 at some point in the future.
In late 2017, Microsoft began displaying a product alert within Paint that warned users of its imminent departure as it was slated to be replaced by Paint 3D.
