Microsoft has released a list of features that will be either removed or deprecated with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Amidst all the backlash, the company has now confirmed that is not killing off MS Paint App with the upcoming Windows 10 update.
In a statement given to MSPoweruser, Microsoft has confirmed that it will be bringing the app to the Windows Store as an optional download and it is not just killing it. Users will be able to download the classic Paint app whenever they want, the report further added. Further, Microsoft is also going to add some features of the original Paint app into the new Paint 3D app as well.
