I can't open Microsoft Paint and Snipping Tool anymore in Windows 11 since yesterday.

 
Reinstall from Windows Store?

All other Windows apps works except this two. I don't have Paint and Snipping Tool in Windows Store only Paint 3D.
 
Those were the two removed recently and now in the Store if you like them, the built in replacements are Snip & Sketch (or vice vera, I forget) and Paint3D.

I've got regular MS Paint. It was installed automatically in the insider preview.
