Hi All,

apparently this seems to be a issue on win 10
tried some of the fixes detailed, nothing helped.....

problem is calculator opens immediately then closes, just as quickly.
even if you type in "calc" does the same,
run as administrator under system32 does the same thing.

my Win 10 is 64 bit Enterprise edition.

what I tried was the following powershell command

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *windowscalculator* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$
($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

didnt work, after sitting for a while trying to run....

anybody have similar issues? does a update fix this issue?
 
I killed my win10 calculator the second I saw it was tagged as an "online" app. I then installed Microsoft Mathematics as my calculator. Takes a few seconds to start but muuuuch more useful.
 
I thought this was a competition for 10 calculator issues :o
 
Have the same issue and haven't found a way to get it working. In the end, it doesn't really matter as I've installed Microsoft Calculator Plus that does the same thing.

sure there's a way, one could conclusively just use a handheld one on a phone or such,

but isnt there a way to get such a simple app to work?
 
Not using Windows 10 Enterprise but it works perfectly under Professional.
It does however have four different executables for the calculator app.

Have you tried updating it or seeing if there is an update on the Windows Store?

It got updated in Jan.

Microsoft's useful Windows Calculator app for Windows 10 PC and Mobile is receiving a new update. However, this appears to be a minor new version with no updated change log,

For all of you keeping track of version numbers (and there are a lot of you) the new one for the updated Windows Calculator app is 10.1601.49020.0. We haven't spotted anything new or noteworthy, but if you happen to notice any additions or improvements to the app, please let us know in the comments.

Thanks to everyone for the tips!
