Windows 11 Paint app reinstall.
From the latest insider build windows 11, I am not able to use Win + R mspaint.exe as the new Microsoft Paint app is available pre-installed. Somehow I thought uninstall and reinstall the app will so...
- I am still waiting for Windows 11 final Oct release, as the new paint app (with dark mode) will be available with the final release. For now I tried updating to the latest insider preview build 22458.1000 from Dev channel. This has brought back the shortcuts for paint app (via App alias ==> Settings > Apps > Apps & features > More settings > App execution aliases). I see two shortcuts now mspaint.exe and pbrush.exe. Both are working fine from Win + R. Thanks
