Check your colour management settings: Edit -> Preferences -> Colour management

Best guess, M$Paint is not colour managed

Edit: just seen the added image(s) both look the same on my browser, guessing the browser is not colour managed either.

Anyone printing off photographs at home and find that the prints come out much darker than expected.

Some good articles here: https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/color-management-printing.htm

and some simple adjustments that can be made: https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/monitor-calibration.htm

Of course if you send off to a commercial printer then it becomes a bit more tricky.
