How to Remove Edit with Paint 3D Context Menu Option in Windows 10
In the case you rarely use Paint 3D, it's possible to remove the Edit with Paint 3D context menu option to edit images via the Registry Editor.
1. Press the Windows key + R keys to open the Run box.
2. Type regedit, and click OK button to open the Registry Editor.
3. Navigate to the following path:
4. Right-click the 3D Edit key and click Delete from context menu.
Important: If you think you might change your mind in the future, make sure to right-click 3D Edit key and click Export to make a backup of the key before deleting it. Later on, you can simply double-click the .reg file to add the entry back to the context menu.
Above step removes “Edit with Paint 3D” context menu option for .jpg files. For other image formats, you need to replace the .jpg part of the registry key path with .png or .bmp — whichever file format you want it removed from and delete the 3D Edit key.
When you’re finished, close the Registry Editor and the next time you right-click a photo with .jpg file extension you should no longer see “Edit with Paint 3D” listed in the context menu.
