Windows "Paint" program

Up until last week I have used the Windows Accessory Program "Paint" to do most of my work annotating photos and making simple diagrams.. Yesterday I tried to use it, and it will not work period.. Not only will it not work on my shop computer, but two others in the house. All computers use WIN 10 and it worked on them last week.. Now it will load but let you do nothing else!! Does anyone else use Paint and if so, is it still working? Hopefully this is not another case of Microsoft forcing one to switch to one of their other programs...

    as always, shut down and restart PC first to see if that fixes the issue.90% of the time, this works.

    Thanks for the link, I had looked before for a free open source photo editor and couldn't find one. This one fits the bill.

    Yep, I dumped Photoshop years ago in favor of GIMP...
