Windows 'Paint 3D' hijacks JPEGs from Adobe legend Photoshop CC 2019 and has no app uninstall, why??
Just the one problem with Windows app Paint 3D (formerly MSPaint apparently).
Let me make this clear, I have already set all file associations for Adobe products because I need them for established clients,... and still Paint 3D launches instead of Photoshop.
I can right click a file to open a jpeg or a JPEG with Photoshop, telling it to always use Photoshop. And the first time is fine. Then any subsequent open requests it forgets, ignores Photoshop and launches in Paint 3D all over again.
This is unacceptable and puts me off ever trying Paint 3D for anything.

1. To uninstall Paint 3D app so that
it doesn't conflict with Adobe Photoshop
Windows+X > Click Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below command and
right click in Powershell to paste it
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MSPaint | Remove-AppxPackage

Find box in Microsoft Store > Click Paint 3D > And Install )
2. File Association issues -
My apologies. This is one of the bugs which has been caused by new Windows
update.
Microsoft is well aware of this issue and has been working to fix this issue. I
think next build may have this fix in place.

You can uninstall Paint 3D by going Settings, Apps, scroll down to Paint 3D, click on it, click on uninstall.
If you want to use it later it is there in Microsoft store, click on the 3 dots, click on Downloads and updates, click on All owned (on the left top of the screen), scroll down to Paint 3D and on the right Install.

Thank you for your note Vijay.
1. I have tried this but it did nothing for me. Can we get the Uninstall button activated please?
2. Useful to know it is a bug and being looked at. Feedback done as you suggested.
Hope this helps!

Didn't Paint 3D go away? I first
executed on my machine and then posted it. Can you run it again and restart your
computer?
(Microsoft hasn't activated uninstall for any Store app. Currently there is no
hack for this)
There is another method to uninstall any Store app. Uninstall it using Windows
10 Store App Unistaller - Apps-Cleaner.zip

Uninstall for this app is greyed out and therefore useless.
Did this solve your problem?
When you look at the uninstall it
has a grey background. Were the letters black or grey?
I have been able to uninstall on my computers.

Grey letters under Paint 3D, making it impossible to uninstall this app in Windows10 version 1803 (OS Build 17134.345).
I tried the popular PowerShell(Admin) approach again to remove the app - to avoid the file association bug...
Restarted immediately and the app dissappears from the Apps & features list.
But double click on any jpeg,...and instead of launching the Photoshop I want, it returns and relaunches Paint 3D. :(
Looking forward to a fix before considering a Mac.
