Greg W Posted Sunday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:54 PM My paint.net continues to fail on startup. I've tried rebooting, and updating the program from the Microsoft store. Was running 5.0.8410 which also was failing in the same way based on the "event viewer". I don't know what else to do since I'm running Windows 10 S so I can only load apps from the store.

Rick Brewster Posted Monday at 01:20 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:20 AM Can you try running the portable x64 version from here? https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases Does it also fail to startup?

Greg W Posted Tuesday at 05:01 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:01 AM Unfortunately, because I am running in S mode, I can't run any program that isn't loaded from the store. See attached screenshot. I could turn S mode off but it is a one-way switch. Once off, no turning back on. Paint.net used to work until recently, and I would expect anyone else running windows 10/11 in S mode will have the same problem. I like the extra security of S mode and I might have to get another computer just to get paint.net working if no one has a solution since I really need paint.net for work.
