Paint is one of Microsoft's oldest applications, but it can still be useful if you want to draw or edit images on your Windows PC, laptop or tablet. However, before you can do that, you must first know how to locate and open Paint. Although it is simple to find and launch, we thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of all the methods available. Here are nine ways to start Paint in Windows:

1. Find and open Paint using Search
The quickest way to open Paint is to use the Search function. Simply press the Windows key on your keyboard or click/tap on the Start button in the taskbar, then type “paint” and wait for the search results to appear. Once the search results are shown, click or tap on Paint. This method is identical for both Windows 11 and Windows 10.

To start Paint in Windows 11 using the Start Menu, you need to first open it by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard or by clicking/tapping on the Start button. Then, click or tap on All Apps.
Press All apps to see the list of applications in Windows 11
Next, scroll through the app list (which is sorted alphabetically) until you reach Paint and click on the icon.

In Windows 10, the procedure is even simpler: open the Start Menu and scroll the list of apps until you reach the folder called Windows Accessories. Expand it, and you should find a shortcut for Paint inside.

This immediately launches Paint.
5. How to start Paint using Task Manager
Another way to open Paint in both Windows versions is to use the Task Manager. A quick way to launch Task Manager is by pressing the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys on your keyboard. If the Task Manager opens in its compact mode, click or tap on “More details.” Then, open the File menu and click or tap on “Run new task.”

Many people do not know this, but you can use File Explorer to run commands or open executables from its address bar. This works for both Windows 11 and Windows 10.

This launches Paint and, if you’re in the company of a colleague, you also show off your Windows knowledge!
8. Locate the Paint executable in Windows 11 and Windows 10
If you need the location of the Paint executable, here’s how to access it. In Windows 11, start File Explorer, then insert the following path in the File Explorer address bar in order to access the folder where the app is installed: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
Just replace C: with the letter for the drive where Windows is installed and USERNAME with the name of your user. Here is an example:
The location of the Paint executable in Windows 11
In Windows 10, Paint is not in the same location as it is in Windows 11. Start File Explorer and browse your computer to the drive where Windows is installed. Now, go to “Windows”, then to “System32” and look for mspaint.exe.

Double-click on this file and Paint starts.
9. Ask Cortana to open Paint
You can also ask Cortana to open Paint. If you’ve enabled Voice Activation in the Settings app, all you need to do is say “Cortana” to activate voice input. If voice activation is not enabled, open the Start Menu, type “cortana” and press Enter (or select the app from the results list).

In Windows 10, you can open Cortana even faster, by pressing the circle icon next to the Search bar.
