most of the stock apps in W11 are stored under C:\Program Files\WindowsApps ..
I had forgotten to have hidden items shown, so I didn’t even see that folder until my question was answered. I appreciate the heads up.

but becareful, altering the contents may make the system unstable and re-installing from Windows Store also will be troublesome .. unless re-installing the OS itself, make a copy somewhere before changing / deleting ..

note to self:
where mspaint
%localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\mspaint.exe
The code listed by you, welp, is exactly what I needed to add to a graphics program I am currently using for editing pic images.
The code automatically opens paint when applied directly to the ‘WIN-R’ combination or as in the program I am using: Honyview 5.50
Thank you for your contribution.

Directory of c:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_10.2108.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\PaintApp
For those that this didn’t help, the full line is:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_11.2304.33.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\PaintApp\mspaint.exe
I needed that for a 3rd party program that edits .jpgs now and then. I spent the better part of an hour trying to get access to that folder, when all I needed to do was have the FULL line.

I found that: %localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\
takes me to: «C:\Users\MisterEd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\
Then the path to paint is:
«C:\Users\MisterEd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_8wekyb3d8bbwe\mspaint.exe»
Note «MisterEd» will change depending upon your user name.

I cannot run
«C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_11.2304.33.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\PaintApp\mspaint.exe» directly.
I suspect that is so for the same reason that I cannot view «C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\» and below.
But I can execute it indirectly by combining the environment variable reference and the remainder of the direct path that I cannot access…
%localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_8wekyb3d8bbwe\mspaint.exe
I do not know for sure but I suspect that this is Microsoft’s intended method of user access for «C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\»
This method also has the advantage of removing the username from the path making it universal.

Всем здравия!
Даже если вы не любитель рисовать и редактировать картинки — иногда нужда может «заставить» запустить редактор Paint* (по умолчанию встроен в Windows).
Вопрос, с одной стороны, — совсем уж легкий (и я долго не добавлял его на сайт), однако (как показывает практика) далеко не у всех получается это сделать: например, в некоторых дистрибутивах Windows нет ярлычка на Paint в меню ПУСК, или программа вообще вырезана (особенно часто встречается в различных сборках от народных умельцев…).
Поэтому (всё же) решил уделить небольшую заметку вопросам по Paint: рассмотрим неск. способов, как его открыть, а также, что делать, если этого сделать не удалось.
*
* Примечание (справка): Paint — небольшой редактор рисунков в Windows. С помощью него можно выполнять обработку фото и картинок (менять размер, подрезать, поворачивать и т.п.), делать не сложные рисунки, конвертировать изображения из одного формата в другой.
*
Редактор Paint: решение типовых вопросов
Вопрос 1: как его открыть
📌 Вариант 1
Пожалуй, самый простой вариант запустить Paint — это нажать левой кнопкой мыши по меню ПУСК и найти соотв. значок (ярлык) среди установленных приложений. См. скрин ниже. 👇
Важно: если у вас не офиц. версия Windows — эта программа может быть вырезана из ОС. Также с этим можно столкнуться на рабочих ПК, где администраторы ограничили всё «ненужное»… (в этом случае лучше обратиться к ним…).
Меню ПУСК — ярлык Paint (скрин из Windows 11)
📌 Вариант 2
Нажать сочетание Win+R (чтобы появилось окно «Выполнить»), в строку «Открыть» ввести команду mspaint и нажать Enter. См. рис. ниже. 👇
Примечание: также командой mspaint можно воспользоваться в диспетчере задач и командной строке!
Win+R, и команда mspaint
📌 Вариант 3
В современных ОС Windows 10/11 есть магазин приложений Microsoft Store (ярлычок для его запуска есть в меню ПУСК, если у вас нет — см. это). Так вот, в Store можно ввести в поиск «Paint» — а затем в найденных результатах нажать «Open | открыть». См. скрин ниже. 👇
✏️ В помощь!
Как открыть магазин приложений Microsoft Store (и, если его нет, то установить) — [см. инструкцию]
Запускаем Microsoft Store, затем находим Paint и открываем его
📌 Вариант 4
Если у вас работает поисковая строка (значок лупы рядом с меню ПУСК) — то с ее помощью можно найти любое приложение (установленное в Windows) или файл, которое вам нужно (в т.ч. и Paint). См. скрин ниже. 👇
Поиск по названию программы — скрин из Windows 11
📌 Вариант 5
Можно с помощью проводника найти исполняемый файл Paint и его запустить. Вот пути для популярных на сегодняшний день ОС Windows:
- Windows 11: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps (вместо «USERNAME» нужно указать свое имя пользователя, в моем случае это «Alex»);
- Windows 10 (и др. версии): C:\Windows\System32 (C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe)
Windows Apps (папка в Windows 11)
*
Вопрос 2: как установить Paint (если его нет в системе)
📌 Вариант 1: 👉загрузить офиц. версию Windows со встроенным Paint и переустановить ОС (вариант долгий, зато надежный). На текущий момент Paint есть в Windows 7-11.
*
📌 Вариант 2: воспользоваться магазином Microsoft Store (👉как его запустить) — в нем можно найти и установить неск. версий Paint (в т.ч. 3D). См. 2 скрина ниже. 👇
Устанавливаем Paint через Store
Paint работает!
*
📌 Вариант 3: загрузить установочный файл Paint можно и на сторонних сайтах (а потом установить как самую обычную программу). Правда, тут нужно быть аккуратным, чтобы не подхватить вирус. Вообще, я бы порекомендовал использовать известные продукты и сайты, например, Paint.Net (можно взять на крупном портале: www.softportal.com).
Paint.net — пример работы с фото
*
Вопрос 3: чем можно заменить Paint, аналоги и похожие программы
Замен для Paint — просто море! (тот же Paint.net, который я порекомендовал выше). Т.к. программ для работы с фото и картинками — не счесть, я даже теряюсь в рекомендациях… 😉
Думаю, здесь стоило бы привести ссылки на пару своих прошлых заметок:
- ✏️ топ-10 скриншотеров (программы для создания снимков с экрана): https://ocomp.info/skrinshoter-programmy-best.html
- ✏️ фоторедакторы для начинающих: https://ocomp.info/dlya-szhatiya-obrabotki-fotografiy.html
- ✏️ программы для рисования: https://ocomp.info/programmyi-dlya-risovaniya.html
ArtWeaver — программа для рисования (с легкостью заменит Paint) 👌
*
За сим откланяюсь, всем удачи!

Now that Windows 11 has been out for some time, you probably noticed that Microsoft has been constantly updating their latest operating system with new features and updated versions of old features and apps. And as you probably know, newer is not always better and you might even apply that thinking to Windows itself!
The MS Paint app has been around since Windows itself and hasn’t changed much throughout the years. But with Windows 11, Microsoft has updated it in an attempt to bring it into the modern age and even have a Paint 3D app where you can do things such as create transparent backgrounds. But if you prefer the original version, then we will be showing you how to install the classic MS Paint app in Windows 11. Then you will be able to use the new and classic version side by side.
To install the classic MS Paint app in Windows 11, all you need to do is download the classic version and run the installer on your computer. You will need to make a couple of changes in the Windows settings to run the new and classic Paint app side by side though. You will be able to make these changes while installing the Paint app itself.
Once you download the installer .exe file, you can double click on it to install the Paint app just like you would with any other Windows software. When you get to the screen that says you have to disable app aliases for the built in Paint app, you can then click on the Open Settings button to be taken to the appropriate section in the Windows 11 settings.
When you get to the Advanced app settings section, click on the App execution aliases setting.
Then you will see two Paint options and one should say mspaint.exe and the other should say pbrush.exe. Once you find these two items, you will need to turn the sliders for each one of these to Off.
Now when you do a search for Paint, you will have the new version as well as the classic version that show up in your search results. You can then open whichever version you wish to use.
When you choose the classic version, you will then be able to use the version of Paint that came with older versions of Windows such as Windows 10.
Another thing you will notice is that when you right click on a .bmp file and choose Open with, you will have both versions of Paint to choose from as well.
When you click on the Windows 11 Show more options submenu, you will also have an Edit with Classic Paint choice.
