Using MS Paint to edit background image in Captivate - not available in windows 11

[..KK]

Hello Community,

The option to edit background images in a simulation with mspaint.exe was available in windows 10. However, in Windows 11, it does not take mspaint.exe. 
Steps: Right-click on slide > Find background > Right-click on background > Edit with > Open (here mspaint.exe used to work, not it doesn't seem to).

Please advise if there an option to resolve it. Thank you.

Which version of Captivate are you using? Only 11.8.1 is compatible with Win 11.

Hmm... I am using 11.5.1.499 on Win 11 and it is working just fine for me.
Just in general - that is - I don't know about the MS Paint thing - never tried doing such a thing.

You have to tell that you are replacing a lot of Captivate's features by JS, which means you are not a normal user. Did you ever create a software simulation and use the Edit functionality for the Backgrounds folder in the Library? I use that a lot, but with Photoshop of course, not with Paint. BTW why not 11.5.5.553? I found your version rather buggy, but that may be due to the same difference in our workflows with Captivate.

I stopped updating when I realized that every time I update - Adobe unnecessarily changes my fonts and it is a lot of rework to fix.

So... If an update doesn't provide me with some sort of benefit - I don't waste my time.

Thanks for the response. I am using version 11.8.0.586, I did update to 11.8.2 (CPC), however, the edit with paint option still does not work.

I'm sorry, but at this moment my older systems have not yet been updated to Win11, cannot double-check your claim about Edit with... not being possible. Does Win11 still have Paint?  I do use Photoshop to edit backgrounds and other images, Paint is really too basic to me.

Yes, Win 11 has Paint. Photoshop (PS) works, however, in the absense of PS, Paint would work for basic editing.
