Making Paint a Windows Store app has completely screwed up how I use it. Can no longer be accessed by Edit in the right click menu and can't be mapped to a G-key on my keyboard either. That has cut down on my productivity quite a bit today.

Other than that though, so far, so good.

I've got Paint and Paint3d pinned to my taskbar--one click and running. Use the taskbar pinning for several things, actually, and like the feature.

Funny you mention key mapping: I'm having the same problem with snippingtool.exe. Mapping to the ever-changing path of where the app (and your app) is now is not a good solution, but the only one I could come up with for now.

PrtSc key is still working with this build for me--build install did not delete it; ditto MS Paint.

Windows 10 2021 "Cobalt" release will bring UI changes - Gizchina.com

An important part of this statement could cause concern for lots of users with the dropping of support for Win32 applications.

Unfortunately, there is still no official release date announced for the updates. Moreover, we suggest you not hold your breath. Microsoft is always changing its plans or delaying releases. The Windows 10X, for instance, was rumored to come as a dual-display centric OS. Now, the company will focus on single-screen devices and will focus on a lightweight experience without support for Win32 apps. That said, there’s no guarantee that all those promising changes will eventually reach the OS by the next year.

Disconnecting Internet kills news, it won't connect unless we click reload. The Weather icon comes back and disturbs desktop activity.

Even if this one is your best attempt(s), our relation with News has nothing to do with Windows.

For snipping_tool, here's the cmd line in PS ISE admin to get it back:

Code:

Get-AppXPackage *Microsoft.ScreenSketch* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Something is strange with these builds...I never lost my snipping tool. Can't figure why you would have lost yours, unless Microsoft is playing roulette with Dev channel feature distribution. They've admitted to doing that with News & Interests--which is completely missing from my last 2-3 builds.

Enable or Disable Open News and Interests on Hover in Windows 10
