Apparently Windows (only 10?) installed some troublesome updates that make it impossible to open Paint 3D using old microsoft paint environment. To make things worse, Paint 3D does not have an .exe address to use right click context menu to “open with” images.

I searched and apparently the old method to launch paint 3d by powershell was using old ms paint to pass the argument, something like:

Start-Process -FilePath "mspaint" -ArgumentList """C:IMAGE_PATH.jpg /ForceBootstrapPaint3D"""

Unfortunately, above code too makes powershell to go to windows store. Does anyone know a method to launch paint 3D by powershell directly? Thank you.
