Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Paint.NET 5.0.3.

What's new in this version:

New:
- You can now draw from the center when using the Shapes or Line/Curve tools by holding down Ctrl. You can also resize uniformly by holding Ctrl.
- You can now resize uniformly ("centered") by holding down Ctrl when using the Move Selection or Move Selected Pixels tools

Fixed:
- Edit -> Copy and Copy Merged are no longer greyed out (disabled) when a selection is not active; they will copy the entire layer or image. You could always use the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C) to invoke these commands, but the menu items were not clickable.
- Right-clicking on the color wheel in the Colors window will now set the secondary color
- some issues with the Text tool recentering the view when it shouldn't when keys like Ctrl are pressed
- some JPEG images failing to load because of malformed IPTC metadata
- a rare crash in the Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools
- an uncommon rendering glitch with the Text tool when antialiasing is disabled
- an issue with some older plugins that were using the legacy Gaussian Blur effect with radius=0

- Added an /ignoreCorruptPDNChunks command-line parameter to assist with certain data recovery scenarios for .PDN files
- Updated the Direct2D initialization code in order to modernize it and enable future work that will optimize performance, memory use, and interactivity (e.g. with DirectComposition and DirectManipulation)
- Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.11.4.0, which adds error diffusion dithering support for the BC1-3 formats
