We’ve introduced the keyboard as a primary input mechanism. We know that Microsoft Paint (MSPaint) is well-loved by customers and we’re pleased to announce new accessibility features coming to Microsoft Paint with the release of the Windows Update. Most shockingly, Microsoft has started updating it with new accessibility features:
MS Paint will stay in Windows 10 and won’t move to the Store. It would still never be updated again, of course.Īll those plans have been canceled. The media pronounced it “dead,” but Microsoft happily announced that Paint would be moving out of Windows and into the Store app. Microsoft “deprecated” MS Paint in 2017, which meant Microsoft would stop updating it.
Not only is Microsoft Paint sticking around in Windows 10-Microsoft just updated it with new keyboard controls! After announcing MS Paint’s “deprecation” back in 2017, Microsoft has gone in the other direction.
