Issue with "Edit with Paint 3D" Functionality
I have recently encountered an issue with Paint 3D. When I try to edit a picture using Paint 3D by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Edit with Paint 3D," I am unexpectedly prompted to choose an app to open the file instead of Paint 3D launching directly. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have any insights on why this might be happening and how to resolve it? Thank you for your assistance! Following was done: Reinstall Paint 3D Open Microsoft Store: Go to the Start menu and open the Microsoft Store. Search for Paint 3D: In the search bar, type "Paint 3D." Reinstall Paint 3D: If the app is installed, you can click "Open." If it’s not installed or you suspect it might be corrupted, click "Install" or "Get" to reinstall it. Ensure Paint 3D is Enabled Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Apps: Navigate to "Apps" and then "Apps & features." Find Paint 3D: Scroll through the list of installed apps to find "Paint 3D." Ensure It’s Enabled: If you find it, make sure it’s not disabled. If it is, re-enable it. Associate Image Files with Paint 3D Manually Right-click on the Image File: Right-click on an image file. Select Properties: Choose "Properties" from the context menu. Change the Default Program: In the Properties window, click the "Change" button next to "Opens with." Manually Find Paint 3D: Click "More apps" if Paint 3D is not listed. Scroll down and click "Look for another app on this PC." Navigate to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and look for the Paint 3D executable. Note that you may need administrative permissions to access this folder. Use the Default Apps Settings Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Apps: Navigate to "Apps" and then "Default apps." Reset Default Apps: Scroll down and click "Reset" under "Reset to the Microsoft recommended defaults." Change Defaults Manually: After resetting, try setting Paint 3D as the default app for your image files again. Check for System Updates Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Update & Security: Navigate to "Update & Security." Check for Updates: Click "Check for updates" and install any available updates. Sometimes updates can fix issues with system apps like Paint 3D. 1. Check if Paint 3D is Installed Correctly Open PowerShell as Administrator: Press Win + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)." Check Installation: Enter the following command to check if Paint 3D is installed: powershell Copy code Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MSPaint* | Select Name, PackageFullName If Paint 3D is listed, it’s installed. If not, proceed to reinstall it. Reinstall Paint 3D: Uninstall Paint 3D using PowerShell: powershell Copy code Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MSPaint* | Remove-AppxPackage Reinstall from the Microsoft Store: Open the Microsoft Store, search for "Paint 3D," and install it. 2. Reset Paint 3D Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Apps: Navigate to "Apps" > "Apps & features." Find Paint 3D: Scroll down and select "Paint 3D." Advanced Options: Click on "Advanced options." Reset: Click the "Reset" button. This will reset Paint 3D to its default state. 3. Create a New User Profile Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Accounts: Navigate to "Accounts" > "Family & other users."

Run DISM: Enter the following command to repair the Windows image: powershell Copy code DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Wait for the process to complete.

Windows 10 Workstation Errors
I'm working on a small on-premise Windows network. One Windows 2019 server (DSDC), one Windows 2007 Server (DC), five Windows 10 Pc's. All servers and workstation have Windows updates installed. None of the devices have been hit with viruses. One of the Windows 10 Pro PCs just started rebooting intermittently. I checked the power supply but couldn't detect any issues. The event viewer systems log does not have any power-related events. The event viewer/system log shows the errors below have been occurring every day for months. Today, I ran the following processes but didn't find any errors: SFC /Scannow Chkdsk /f DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Cleared temp files Installed Samsung Magician to check for SSD health Checked Battery Backup Checked the case. It wasn't too dusty Verified all four case fans were running This same process has been performed before but the errors still occur. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve the issue?

Checking the connection to Microsoft. This might take a while.
I have WDS and MDT configured to deploy windows 10 to Lenovo ThinkPad 15 Gen2 along with network driver and all the things needed. Due to a minor misconfiguration right network drivers were not being injected. But when we are doing the same windows 10 installation through Bootable USB, we won't be including any drivers in that, but that still works. What I don't understand is the whole WDS deployment happens on the private network which doesn't need internet which I am being mandated for the process after MDT GUI has done its work the laptop restarts and saying "Checking the connection to Microsoft. This might take a while." as the landing page and getting stuck there for hours not letting me go any further. Please help me understand the part where it says it is trying to connect to Microsoft and getting stuck meaning it is trying to connect to internet when there is no need for that.Windows 10 Phone Reset Protection

Updating to windows 11 but I don't want white spaces in my user folder
I want to update to windows 11 and I don't have any issue and I am more than willing to connect to microsoft account. But it creates a user folder with whitespaces. I don't want that. So is there any workaround that. I tried leaving my last name blank but it was a required field.
