Okay, so the computer about an hour ago underwent a system update.
Paint no longer works the way it's supposed to.
Why????????????????????????????

Damn it, nobody visits this forum any more.
Since "Paint" had crashed, I uninstalled.
And downloaded Microsoft's "Fresh Paint."
Which damn it, doesn't seem to work either.

I'll do my best but not sure if I can help... most ppl have avoided win8 or 10 including me so experience level is low.
Do you have any sort of error to work with that you can share?
-
That happened to me once.
I think I just reinstalled it -- you can go to Bing and look for Reinstall Paint.

Where the Hell is the "control panel"?
I open the thing on the lower left-hand corner of the screen and get Most Used, Suggested, Adobe Revel, Alarms & Clock, Amazon, &c. I scroll all the way down the alphabet and see nothing denoting "control panel."
I use the "search" function which gets me to a control panel.....which shows no, absolutely no, "install-reinstall."

I would post a screen capture of what the screen looks like, but alas no longer having Paint in this computer, can't do this.
"Properties" by right-clicking operating system doesn't show what version of Windows I have either.

what version of Windows?
That's what I'm trying to find out; I figured it'd be useful information.
But where oh where does one find the version? Right-clicking the hard drive doesn't tell me anything useful.

Sounds like @$%#& win 10. I HATE WIN 10 !!!
Search for "windows version".
If it is Win 10, When you find "control Panel" look for "Programs and Features". There you have uninstall programs.
