Paint in Windows 10?

Go to solution Solved by Crowes,

Yeah, it's still there. Using the command line and typing "mspaint" brings it up. Obviously, you shouldn't have to do that, so I went into System 32 and created a shortcut to the executable, then went into the actual Start Menu folder and added it under "Programs". and now it's listed.

Just upgraded to Windows 10 and was about to post a screenshot to one of the forums I frequent. I printscreened, went to search Paint, and only found Fresh Paint. Fresh Paint is cool and all, but it's not exactly the "quick-screeshot-image-tool" that I had back in Windows 7.

 

Am I missing something?

Use Snipping Tool.

 

Or get Greenshot. It's pretty good for screenshots. It allows you to take screenshot of a selection, or of the entire screen, and it has options to automatically upload it to an image hosting site (I use imgur)

I typed 'paint' into the search bar and it came up fine for me. I upgraded from W8.1
