    How do you run Paint - the classic version?

    a. Restore it - easy if you use this great free tweaker

    - or search the Tutorial section and find this
    Restore Paint app in Windows 10
    noting
    This tutorial is no longer valid in Windows 10 version 1903 and higher

    Install or Uninstall Microsoft Paint (mspaint) in Windows 10
    Then use it in the usual way.

    Why are you asking?
    Doesn't it run using C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe as normal on your computer?

    MS Paint isn't in win 10...but can be reinstated.

    It should be listed under Windows Accessories in the All programs list. Has been back to Windows 8.1 up to the latest version of Windows 10 on mine.

    If not locate it as detailed in post #3 and then you can Right click mspaint.exe for Pin to Start, make Shortcut etc.

    That article is more than five years old.

    Paint is now an optional feature and/or a store app.

    This MSPaint has been in all my Windows 10 installations the whole time.
    MS have never removed it.
    That WinAero link is, as its name suggests, about restoring a particular version of MSPaint and not about the existence of MSPaint itself [C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe].
    As you & NMI point out above, MSPaint can be removed by deliberate action but the OP makes no mention of having done so.

    All the best,
