Windows 10 Update Kills Off Paint, other programs... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to deoetdoctrinae for the ping!

Strictly speaking, at present Paint is being deprecated in favor of the new "3D PAint". But the poison has been administered, and the future is clear.

Here's a list of the Features that are being either removed, or deprecated (future removal).

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4034825/features-that-are-removed-or-deprecated-in-windows-10-fall-creators-up


Removed:

3D Builder app - No longer installed by default. Consider using Print 3D and Paint 3D in its place. However, 3D Builder is still available for download from the Windows Store.

Apndatabase.xml - For more information about the replacement database, see the following Hardware Dev Center articles: MO Process to update COSA COSA FAQ

Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) - Use will be blocked. Consider using the Exploit Protection feature of Windows Defender Exploit Guard as a replacement.

Outlook Express - Removing this non-functional legacy code.

Reader app - Functionality to be integrated into Microsoft Edge.

Reading List - Functionality to be integrated into Microsoft Edge.

Screen saver functionality in Themes - To be disabled in Themes (classified as "Removed" in this table). Screen saver functionality in Group Policies, Control Panel, and Sysprep is now deprecated but continues to be functional. Lockscreen features and policies are preferred.

Syskey.exe - Removing this nonsecure security feature. We recommend that users use BitLocker instead. For more information, see the following Knowledge Base article: 4025993 Syskey.exe utility is no longer supported in Windows 10 RS3 and Windows Server 2016 RS3

TCP Offload Engine - Removing this legacy code. This functionality was previously transitioned to the Stack TCP Engine. For more information, see the following PFE Platform Blog article: Why Are We Deprecating Network Performance Features (KB4014193)?

Tile Data Layer - To be replaced by the Tile Store.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Owner Password Management - This legacy code to be removed.

==================

Deprecated:

IIS 6 Management Compatibility - We recommend that users use alternative scripting tools and a newer management console.

IIS Digest Authentication - We recommend that users use alternative authentication methods.

Microsoft Paint - Going away, use 3DPaint.

RSA/AES Encryption for IIS - We recommend that users use CNG encryption provider.

Sync Your Settings - Back-end changes: The current sync process is being deprecated. In a future release, the same cloud storage system for syncing settings will be used for both Enterprise State Roaming users and all other users. (Currently, these users use different cloud storage systems.)

System Image Backup (SIB) Solution - We recommend that users use full-disk backup solutions from other vendors.

TLS RC4 Ciphers - To be disabled by default. For more information, see the following Windows IT Center topic: TLS (Schannel SSP) changes in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016

Trusted Platform Module (TPM): TPM.msc and TPM Remote Management - To be replaced by a new user interface in a future release.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Remote Management - This legacy code to be removed in a future release.

Windows Hello for Business deployment that uses System Center Configuration Manager

Windows Server 2016 Active Directory Federation Services – Registration Authority (ADFS RA) deployment is simpler and provides a better user experience and a more deterministic certificate enrollment experience.

Windows PowerShell 2.0 - Applications and components should be migrated to PowerShell 5.0+.

According to this slashdot story, Microsoft has backed off of killing paint. Personally, I've always thought paint was garbage, kinda like notepad, which doesn't even understand what a ctrl-backspace is, it is the least functional product it can possibly be, without being completely non-functional.
