Force uninstall it and reinstall again. Type the following in Windows PowerShell (run as admin) to remove Paint -
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MSPaint | Remove-AppxPackage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot PC, then run the following again to install Paint -
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.MSPaint | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also check Windows Updates that might fix things.

As already told by @forhad-61, you have to launch PowerShell as an admin, which I guess you haven't done so and that's why the error message.

I did at as administator in powershell but nothing happend ... !

Check if your user account has permission to use powershell as admin. Type netplwiz in Run (Win + R), then click Properties of current user, from Group Membership, make sure it's selected as Administrator, may need to reboot the system if you make any change here.
Run CMD as admin this and type the following command, type one command at a time, then press enter. After finishing one command, type the next command then enter -
sfc /scannow
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then run this -
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Finally this -
chkdsk C: /f /r
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press 'y' and reboot the PC.

the problem is that I live in IRAN, and unfortunately we do not have permission to access their website or their services. so I have to figure it out myself.

The error code 0x87E10BC6 indicates a problem with the Windows Store. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Reset the Windows Store cache:
Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
Type "wsreset.exe" and press Enter.
Wait for the process to complete and then try opening Paint again.
Re-register the Windows Store:
Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".
Type the command "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}" and press Enter.
Wait for the process to complete and then try opening Paint again.
Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter:
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
Select "Additional troubleshooters".
Select "Windows Store Apps" and click on "Run the troubleshooter".
Follow the on-screen instructions and then try opening Paint again.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to try repairing or reinstalling the Windows operating system.

Clear Microsoft Store Cache​Problems with the Microsoft store cache can also cause problems with built-in apps. Fortunately, you can delete the Windows Store cache fairly easily. To do so, press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type wsreset.exe in the box and press Enter.

Instead of Paint use free-of-charge Paint.NET 5.0.6: works perfectly on Windows 11 22H2

That is a WIndows activation error. Which can happen if the activation server is down, or unreachable.
Try flushing your DNS cache. Sometimes the local DNS cache can become corrupted.
Right click on your Windows button
Select Terminal (Admin)
Copy/Paste or Type
ipconfig /flushdns
Hit enter.
