Paint 3D, which was once billed as the modernized replacement of the classic Microsoft Paint app, is ironically getting the axe just seven years after its launch. Some users who open the app have found a banner under the toolbar saying, "Paint 3D won't be available in the Microsoft Store or receive future updates starting on November 4, 2024."
Microsoft built the Paint 3D app with a focus on 3D modeling. But aside from that, it also introduced layers, transparency effects, background removal, PNG support, and more. However, Windows Central reports that users were up in arms when the company attempted to replace the classic Microsoft Paint app with the new 3D-focused version; this forced Microsoft to allow both versions to become available on Windows 10 and 11.
