    Wait for the Windows 11 final Oct release, the new paint app (with dark mode) will be available or try updating to the latest insider preview build 22458.1000.

Latest Windows 11 version of paint is BROKE.  Scroll bars missing.  Setup margins change wrong margin. Changing Orientation on Set Up does not change orientation for printing!
