To effectively remove Paint 3D from your Windows 10 system, you will need to uninstall the application. Simply closing the application doesn't prevent it from being launched again, whereas uninstallation removes it entirely.
Steps to Uninstall Paint 3D
Removing Paint 3D is a straightforward process managed through the Windows Start menu. Follow these steps precisely to uninstall the application based on the provided method:
- Access the Start Menu: Press the Windows key on your keyboard to bring up the Start menu. This is the primary gateway to your applications and system settings.
- Search for Paint 3D: Type "Paint 3D" into the search bar that appears within the Start menu. Windows will begin searching for applications matching your input as you type.
- Initiate Uninstall: Wait briefly for the search results to show up. Right-click on the top result, which should be the "Paint 3D" application. From the context menu that appears, select "Uninstall".
This action will typically open the 'Apps & Features' settings page and may prompt you for confirmation before removing the application from your system. Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation process.
What Happens When You Uninstall?
Uninstalling Paint 3D removes the application's files and settings from your computer. This means the program will no longer be available to open or use. It's a permanent action, though you can usually reinstall it later from the Microsoft Store if you change your mind.
This method is the standard way to remove Microsoft Store apps like Paint 3D from Windows 10, ensuring it's completely gone rather than just closed or temporarily disabled.
