MSPowerUser reports Microsoft may have reversed its decision to kill the classic Paint. As you may know, the software giant intended to replace this imaging tool with the more advanced Paint 3D, but the latest Windows 10 Insider build no longer contains a product alert to inform users about change:

Microsoft has been showing a notice warning for nearly two years now that Paint will soon be replaced with Paint 3D, and would then be available via the Microsoft Store.

Today however Aggiornamenti Lumia noticed that in the latest Insider build Microsoft has removed the Product Alert notice.

Microsoft removed the product alert from Paint on Windows 10 19H1. Isn't it coming to the Microsoft Store in the end? ???? pic.twitter.com/u7LYSIbyre
