1 Microsoft Paint nearing removal2 All removed features of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update:

By far the biggest change involves the 3D Builder app, which will be completely removed when the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update arrives. The application will no longer be installed by default, and Microsoft suggests that customers should use Print 3D and Paint 3D in its place. Microsoft 3D Builder has been around for almost four years, since November 2013. Microsoft released it as a 3D printing app for Windows 8.1 and transitioned it to Windows 10. However, with the arrival of Print 3D and Paint 3D, the app was deprecated and Microsoft will remove it with the Fall Creators Update. With Paint 3D, users can move their objects directly to a 3D printer. In addition, the company unveiled a patent back in November 2016 which will allow full-color 3D printing from Paint 3D.

Microsoft Paint nearing removal

With Paint 3D already up and running, we expected the legacy Microsoft Paint to be deprecated at some point. This moment will come when the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update arrives sometime this September. Microsoft continues its plan to “kill off” Microsoft Paint by deprecating the app. This development suggests that Microsoft will remove Paint entirely in a future update. In addition, Microsoft will deprecate the “Sync Your Settings” feature when the Fall Creators Update drops. In a future release, all users will use the same cloud storage system. Currently, Enterprise State Roaming users use a different cloud system than the other users.
