When you open Paint 3D, the following notification appears under the toolbar area:
Paint 3D won't be available in the Microsoft Store or receive future updates starting on November 4, 2024.
When you open the Learn more link, it contains the following information:

Existing installations of Paint 3D will continue to work, but the app will no longer be available for download from the Microsoft Store.

Note:
The above installer needs the following dependency packages, which may have been preinstalled on the system.
- Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop_14.0.33728.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
- Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7_7.2409.9001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
- Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
- Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2_2.2.28604.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Option 2: Download Paint 3D from Microsoft via store.rg-adguard.net
On the store.rg-adguard.net portal, type the following Paint 3D URL and generate the offline installer link.
- https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh5fv99
For some reason, store.rg-adguard.net portal is unable to generate the official link for the most recent Paint 3D version. It generates the download link for an older version (5.1811.20017.0
) of Paint 3D.
For the more recent version, please use “Option 1” above.
