Microsoft’s Paint application existed for nearly 32 years. However, the Redmond-based technology giant has reportedly decided to kill it off. According to India Today, the firm is expected to remove the Paint tool from the Microsoft family in Windows 10 operating software. The report states that the company released a list of titles that have been removed and deprecated from the upcoming update, and turns out, Paint is sixth on the list.

Microsoft took to its official website to publish the list of "Removed and deprecated features.”

"This list is intended to help customers consider these removals and deprecations for their own planning. The list is subject to change and may not include every deprecated feature or functionality,” the company wrote in an official statement.

The other features that won’t be making it to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update are: 3D Builder app, Outlook Express and the Reader app.
