I am using Windows 11, version 22H2
I think there is issue with recent updates.

I have the same version with the same updates as you have, but I'm experiencing no crash. Could it be a corrupted font/font that MS Paint can't handle? Have you tried restoring the default font settings? (control panel->fonts->font settings->(button)restore default font settings->reboot)

Tried, still persist.

Can you try run it as Administrator.. ?

My version OS Build 22621.2283
I'm on the same build. Have you checked the event log to see if either Paint logs something or some other system function logs an error around the time Paint crashes?

Doing a quick search, this one is one of those issues that affects a myriad number of items in Windows with no clear answer from Microsoft on what could cause it / what would solve it. Have you done any theming in Windows lately? It is just one of the weird things that was mentioned regarding this issue (where in one case, theming caused the problem).

No theming. As it works a few weeks ago like other reported users in the link in post #2. Not sure it is related to. NET framework updates.

I have the same updates as you. Supposedly Paint will run correctly under a new user profile on the same machine. If so, it's most likely some cryptic registry setting or file located in user's appdata that is the cause of all of this.
