Why is the Remix button gone in Paint 3D?
Almost a day after installing Paint 3D, the Remix button is gone. I noticed this at school, and when I got home I tried getting a model from my web browser, but all I got was an error message saying 'Couldn't open this model. Try again.'.

Hello Ronnie,
We hope that the Community can provide ideas that can help you meet the concern.
Regarding the error message you're getting, try running the Windows app and store troubleshooter to sort possible minor glitch on application.
If the troubleshooter doesn't do the trick, try uninstalling Paint 3D, then reinstall to reset the application.
Note: This will delete all account settings and data saved in Paint 3D.
To uninstall Paint 3D:
1. To run the PowerShell window with elevated permissions just click on the Start menu, then type PowerShell. Right-click on the PowerShell icon, then select Run as Administrator.
Note: Agree to the UAC prompt.
Important: Press Enter on each command. (Applicable for steps 2 and 3)
2. Copy and paste following command into the PowerShell prompt to verify app information:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MSPaint
3. Copy and paste the following command to uninstall Paint 3D from your computer:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MSPaint | Remove-AppxPackage
4. Restart your PC.
To reinstall Paint 3D:
1. Follow the same path on how to open an elevated PowerShell (see step 1 of method 1).
