The company moved Paint to the “deprecated” features list, which includes apps that are “not in active development and might be removed in future releases.”
Paint has been part of the Windows operating system since its release in 1985. Paint’s successor, Paint 3D, will still be available.
Microsoft introduced the new Paint 3D app this year.
Other features to be removed include the Outlook Express email client, which is replaced with the built-in Mail app, and the Reader app, which will be integrated into Microsoft Edge, the BBC reports.
