I recently upgraded to Windows 11. Now I have a new version of Paint and, quite frankly, it sucks. Much of it is not like the Paint I'm used to and I can't seem to get the hang of how this new one works or to be more specific, doesn't work. Is there a way to downgrade to the version of Paint I had before the update as that would actually be an upgrade given how difficult the new version is being.

Hello !
Unfortunately, there's no official method to revert to the old version of Paint in the latest version of Windows 11.
There are methods available online for recovering the old version, but I cannot guarantee that they will work or remain functional as updates are released.
Please let me know if you have any other question !
So if I try getting a classic version, I'll risk opening myself up to viruses, malware, and my PC breaking? And people wonder why people are so opposed to change. The term "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind. It worked, this "update" broke it, so I'm a little p***ed. Even if they release an Official Classic Version, I don't think I'll forgive them.
