Microsoft backtracks and will not remove Paint from Windows 10

Two years ago Microsoft revealed its intention to remove Paint from Windows 10, and move the app to the Windows Store, in favor of the Paint 3D tool. It seems the software giant has changed its opinion as the latest builds of Windows 10 May 2019 Update still have Paint, and no longer have the "Product alert" button that warns the app will soon be moving to the Windows Store.

Yes, MSPaint will be included in 1903. It'll remain included in Windows 10 for now.
