It's not necessarily Paint.NET

On this Win10 Pro 22H2 device, additional runtimes are Visual C++ 
related. No items specifically named 'Dekstop Runtime' in any location:
  - Programs and Features
  - Settings/Apps and Features
  - Revo Uninstaller
  - Powershell wmic



Fyi. Paint.NET is installed on this device.
The runtimes(below) have install dates of Oct 21 2022.
Paint.NET install date is Sept 24 2019.

No presence of version 6.x, 8.x Runtimes

What is present:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x86 Minimum Runtime - 12.0.21005      5
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x86 Additional Runtime - 12.0.21005

Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Minimum Runtime - 14.22.27821
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Additional Runtime - 14.22.27821

Only four installed items have dates common to Oct 21, 2022
  Intel Graphics driver
  Logitech Camera
  Logitech SetPoint
  Windows Essentials 2012(only two WLE12 program are installed
   => PhotoGallery/Movie Maker and Writer [1]

Powershell in Admin mode - a good way to see all installed programs
  (two commands one for the wmic utility, the other to output a list of 
installed programs to a text file)

wmic

/output:C:\list.txt product get name, version



[1]Additional info.
  Windows Essentials 2012 normally installs Visual C++ 2008 
Resdistributable(VC++ 9.0). In advance of installing WLE 12, installing 
VC12(Redistibutable 2013) and/or VC13(2015-2019) or VC14(2015-2022) can 
be done as a pre-requisite for successful WLE12 installation since the 
WLE12 install code looks(depending upon the installer locale) for the 
runtime 2008/VC9 download on the no longer present Live backend server.
