Paint 3D, once Microsoft’s biggest update to its Paint app, is being removed from the Microsoft Store later this year and no longer supported. The app was originally released as part of Microsoft’s focus on creators with Windows 10 and was even set to replace the original MS Paint at one point.

Microsoft confirms its Paint 3D app is being discontinued in November
Microsoft is removing its Paint 3D app from its store in November. The app was supposed to replace MS Paint at one point, but it’s now being deprecated.

“Paint 3D is deprecated and will be removed from the Microsoft Store on November 4th, 2024,” reads a support note from Microsoft. Users of the app will also see a banner inside the app warning them about the end of support. Microsoft is recommending Windows users install its 3D Viewer app if they need to view 3D content.
Microsoft has now put most of its focus on the existing Paint app within Windows 11 instead, adding some of Photoshop’s best features to the app and even updating it with AI-powered features.
Paint 3D is the latest victim of Microsoft’s varied Windows features and apps that eventually get removed and discontinued. Windows Mixed Reality suffered a similar fate last year, alongside Microsoft Teams integration being removed from Windows 11. Microsoft is also ending its Android apps support for Windows 11 next year.
