Microsoft Moves Ms Paint And Snipping Tool To Microsoft Store

When Microsoft announced Windows 10 Fall Creators Update way back in 2017, the company revealed its plans to move MS Paint to Microsoft Store. After almost four years, Microsoft has now moved Paint to Microsoft Store with the latest Windows 10 Insider build. Italian blog Aggiornamenti Lumia first spotted the change and it was eventually confirmed by Microsoft.

“Because we’re combining both Snip & Sketch and Snipping Tool, Insiders who previously did not have Snip & Sketch installed will see Snipping Tool removed after updating to this build and will have to go and install Snip & Sketch from the Store to get it back,” wrote the company in its blog post.
