Now, Microsoft has confirmed that the Sun Valley update to Windows 10 will remove the Paint 3D option if you’ve uninstalled the program. However, if you want to keep Paint 3D around, you’ll still get the option when you right-click a compatible file. Clicking it will prod you to re-download Paint 3D. Right now, that entry is a permanent addition to Windows 10 even if you uninstall Paint 3D, the option will remain. Now, Microsoft is targeting the “edit in Paint 3D” context menu entry when you right-click a compatible file. For instance, Microsoft will soon remove the 3D Objects folder from Windows 10. However, people weren’t so hot about Paint 3D, and Microsoft is slowly making the program an optional download instead of something everyone was forced to have. Paint 3D first came around in the Creators Update back in 2017, which hosted a few tools for creating 3D images.

News of this update broke on Windows Latest. Fortunately for you, Microsoft is finally allowing users to remove the option in an upcoming update. If you can count the number of times you deliberately opened Paint 3D on one hand, you probably have zero use for the “edit in Paint 3D” context menu entry that appears when you right-click a file.
