If you didn’t try this way. open start menu and go to settings, and then go to app&features and in search tap find calculator. click on it and go to advance option and reset it

Windows 10 Calculator is an open source, so I don’t think there is a code related issue. It is possible that there is a conflict and Microsoft team issued a patch that you are yet to download.

Open Settings by pressing the Windows key+I shortcut on your keyboard and select Update & Security at the bottom.

Hi @Winterfell10,

All of my system set to auto update. I always keep them upto date.

That’s very strange case but try to re-install the application from here

7

Not helpful. I this also multiple times. Even I tried to download other calculator apps that also not working.

try to make new user account and check if there is the same problem

If the user is not admin then the same problem. Calculator works only for built-in admin accounts

Is it possible to grant an admin privilege on the referenced accounts?

  1. Open Windows PowerShell (admin)
    2.When Command Prompt opens, enter sfc /scannow and press Enter .
    3.SFC scan will now start. The scanning process can take up to 15 minutes, so don’t interrupt it.

you also can do this in powershell, after @Aravinth advice also do this way.

  1. Open Start and type PowerShell.
  2. Right-click on Windows PowerShell[3] and select Run as Administrator.
  3. Copy and Paste Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”} command and press Enter.

Hello,
I would suggest you to try the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: Follow the below steps to launch the Calculator application and check if it helps.

  1. Press Windows key + R

  2. Type system32 and press Enter

  3. Look for calc.exe

  4. Right click on it and Run as Administrator.

Method 2:

Try performing a System Restore to on the system.

System Restore is a feature that allows users to restore their system to a previous state. It offers a way to undo all the changes in the system files, registry keys, installed programs, etc., to a previous state, without affecting personal files such as documents, photos or e-mails.

  1. Windows key + R to open Run window.

  2. On run command type “ rstrui.exe ” (without double code) and press OK .

  3. Select the restore point and follow the onscreen instruction.

If you still face the issue, try Method 3.

Method 3:

Run System File Checker scan and check if there are any system files missing or got corrupted.

Summary

System file check is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption the sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect, corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.

I suggest you to try the steps provided, in the link below in order to run SFC scan on your computer.

Redirecting

Hope this information is helpful.
