Fuck?
Wait... What?
Fuck.
it always comes from where you least expect it.
Well, I'm only hesitant because who even uses MS Paint? Even if you are on Windows there are better ways to hate your life.
An RCE in Minesweeper would blow up the internet.
Not absolutely correct. Using paint is common. Here, it's about the app store version of paint. That "modern" one
Why the fuck would MS Paint need the network?
The Copilot "generative erase" and "remove background"?
youre asking a relevant question. please cease that.
Fix: Copy MSPaint from Win7 to your Win10+ installation. Done.
Fuck.
Fuck
Win 10 still has the old one (i dont think you can even install the uwp version). Thats a win 11 issue. But im pretty sure theres already like some paint classic or what its called that installs the old version from win 10 to 11
