Ternith Plague Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Primary problem here is: I can open the file, but as soon as I do, around a few seconds later it closes. Previously, I installed the Paint.NET demo on the Microsoft Store (when I already had it, so huge mistake on my part), and now that the demo's ended, I can't open it at all. Tried to look for the crash log folder (wherever it is in the maze of files we call Windows Explorer), and I can't get IN the actual program to open it from there. I'm stuck right now, and need a solution. Hopefully ya'll can help. Thanks! - Plague Edit: Gonna head to bed, if anyone responds, I'll see it later, likely.

It's just closing because the trial period has ended? If the trial period has ended, you have two options: - Buy the app, and support further development. - Uninstall the app, and switch to the classic paint.net available at getpaint.net.

Thing is, I did that. Multiple times in fact. Don't know what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi @Ternith Plague You probably have so many installs on your computer that you should try this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed Then download the free version from here.

toe_head2001 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 @Pixey, that tool doesn't work with apps from the Microsoft Store. 5 hours ago, Ternith Plague said: I did that. Multiple times in fact.

You tried to uninstall the app from the Store? What happened when you tried? Were any messages or errors displayed? It won't allow me to uninstall it from the store. No option to. I tried manually uninstalling from the Control Panel. Didn't work, same problem. To clarify, it'll let me uninstall, remove the Paint.NET Program File, etc. Then install it, but once installed, it gives the same problem. Edited June 17, 2020 by Ternith Plague Clarification.

toe_head2001 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 You still need to answer these questions: Is the issue with a classic installation of paint.net, or with a Store installation of paint.net? If the issue is with a Store installation of paint.net, is it actually crashing, or is it just closing due to a expired trial period?
