How can I restore the classic Paint app in Windows 10?

[Emmawoods]

I prefer the classic Microsoft Paint and want to bring it back on Windows 10. What’s the easiest way to restore or reinstall the old Paint version? Are there safe download methods or built-in Windows features that help recover it?

You can restore the classic Paint app in Windows 10 by enabling it through Windows Features or reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store. You can also use the old “mspaint.exe” located in the Windows folder, or download the classic version from trusted sources if it was removed.

To bring back classic paint:

Navigate to Settings > Apps > Optional features. Choose Install after clicking Add a feature and searching for Microsoft Paint. If it's absent, you might require a registry edit or a third-party classic paint installer.
