It’s no secret that Paint 3D was considered a failure for years. So much so that Microsoft decided to remove it from Windows 10 and did not include it in Windows 11. However, if someone missed it and wanted to use it, they could do so without any problems. download and install the application from the official Microsoft Store.

Microsoft had big plans for Paint 3D. I remember when the giant introduced this new app, they made it clear that their goal was to use it completely replaces the classic Paint. It seemed easy, but in the end users gave Microsoft a hard dose of reality, because they continued to use the classic Paint and paid little attention to the new 3D version.

Paint 3D wasn’t a success, but as I said, it stayed alive for years thanks to an app available in the Microsoft Store. That is about to change as the Redmond giant has launched this app his days are numberedand that it will also stop supporting it, which is the absolute end.

Goodbye 3D painting on November 4th

From this date the application can no longer be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. It may still be available from unofficial sources, but we should avoid them because they pose a significant risk to the security of our computer, as they can be infected with malware.

Deleting this app will also have an effect end of official supportwhich means you will stop receiving updates. Those who have downloaded the application will be able to continue using it without any problems. The end of official support will not pose any risk in the short and medium term, but could bring complications in the long term.

In general, the user base of this app has been very low, so I don’t think this move by Microsoft will be a big blow. If you used the application calmly, you have margin to continue it for a while and slowly look for an alternative that has official support.

I personally have never used it after a few days of testing to see what this app has to offer. I think due to its interface and simplicity, the average user you are used to the classic Paint application to do simple projects and make small adjustments to your images, which is why Microsoft keeps improving it and Paint 3D never knew how to find its place.
