Holy shit, that's amazing! GG to the paint.NET dev. I'm personally not a big fan of how "updoot-brained" he is about forcing updates on you, but I'm happy he finally got the domain. I had fallen for it many times myself.

Hopefully it sets a precedent that if you own a domain but not the trademarks of the domain then it's worthless to anyone but the trademark holder.

I have the latest Windows update and in the good news, the Start menu and apps do actually start up noticeably more quickly. I am as surprised as anybody else.
On the downside, the idiotic and crappy way search is handled in Windows explorer remains unchanged. Example: You search by name in a directory structure and some of the results are directories matching that name. Great - you click on one of those to open in a new tab in Explorer. What do you get in that new tab? The normal directory path? No. You get "Search Results". Or double click to enter that directory and the path above is still deriving from "Search results".
There is no clean way to get directly from a folder you have found via Search to a normal path for that folder. You have to right click on it, select "Copy as Path", go to either the current address bar in Explorer or one in a new tab, paste the result in, delete the quote marks from either end, then hit return. Now you have a normal file path that you can go up and down from, etc.
Idiocy.
