Hello MS developers and community.

In Windows 10 I was able easily to open several pictures in Paint at once. But in Windows 11 I spend one more action for each opening picture in Paint. More actions - slow work. I believed Windows 11 makes my work faster. But...

How do I get back editing multiple files without rolling back to Windows 10?

Thank you!

    Hi there,

    When you select show more options or press Shift + F10 you can get the option of edit in windows 11. They have changed some of the UI in windows 11 like you can only see symbols for cut & copy instead of letter as like Windows 10 .

    does anyone have information on whether Microsoft will return this feature, or do they, as always, not care about users?

    Hello,
    Did you try changing the file association to Paint in Windows 11, I believe it defaults to Photos.
    I see the option for Edit and Open after I change the file association to Paint.

    Thanks
    Darrell
