Calculator For Windows 10
Sofia Farren
I have three monitors, and I like to play SMITE in triple surround. To do this the NVIDIA Control Panel wants me to close a few (to me random) applications before it can do its magic. This is all good and well, but the calculator application is a pain to close. I have to use the task manager to force the process to stop, because for some reason it doesn't always by itself.
But since the calculator isn't just a simple .exe, I can't figure out how to shut it down. What I've found for a regular process is taskkill /f /im processname.exe but, the calculator doesn't have a simple .exe I can kill. The default Windows 10 apps have odd names, and are technically file folders according to their properties.
I am at my wits' end right now! I have been messing around with this and trying so many different things to get this to work, but no dice. After deploying an image to a computer, users are unable to open the calculator app. This is kind of a big deal for them. I've been Googling all day and tried it all. I've mostly been concentrating on figuring out how to get it to work post-deployment. For local and domain administrator accounts I can run a Powershell script to make it work - for that user only. It doesn't fix it for all the users of the computer.
My problem its that I end up having multiple windows calculator instances open when modeling because everytime I click on the Calculator key on my keyboard it opens a new instance.
Is there a way to make that button switch to the already open calculator after the first time pressed?
Like a Alt+tab but without having to scroll through everything else open on my pc?
anyone seen where you cannot open the calculator on windows 10? I even downloaded the HD version with same issues from the app store with same results. Tried resetting the app with same results. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling with powershell
@alienclone Yep, I know the are Autoit calculators on the forums but this one every Windows user already has and it's very sophisticated and if Autoit can manipulate it then there is much potential to expand its use.
1. It no longer displays the name of the note in the taskbar when you don't hide labels - it just says Notepad on all open notepads. And the tab functionality still works in normal explorer windows where it'll say the name of whatever tab you're on in the taskbar, but it's broken in Notepad.
2. When I click the calculator button on my keyboard while using notepad, it no longer opens the calculator, yet it continues to work any other time I'm on a different program. Super frustrating cos the time I use the calculator most is when I'm in notepad.
Enter known dimensions into the sizing calculator below to calculate additional dimensions including unit size, rough opening, casing size and masonry opening. Shim space and sealant gap can be set to your project's requirements. The calculator can also account for any profiled casing size.
With the Optimize CPUs feature in the workload calculator, customers have the flexibility of specifying a custom number of vCPUs for new instances, while taking advantage of the same memory, storage, and bandwidth of a full-sized instance. It enables BYOL customers to optimize their vCPU-based licensing costs. It also supports the ability to indicate passive node for SQL Server workloads.
When calculations get hard to solve in your head, a fully featured calculator in Windows can be a lifesaver. These days, you can find hundreds of apps that can completely replace your pocket calculator.
Some apps may be limited to basic functions, but the advanced ones with features matching your scientific calculator will undoubtedly impress you. But choosing between too many options may be overwhelming.
In addition to offering more flexibility in calculations, this calculator integrates with Cortana. That is, you can dictate Cortana to do the math for you without any hassle. This would be the perfect alternative to the Windows built-in calculator and the ideal replacement for a pocket calculator.
Though it may not have as many functions as other calculators on the list, the interface is easy to use. Like Naturplay, the Super Calculator is free to download from the Microsoft Store on Windows, and you can save and print your calculations.
Sticky Calculator combines a calculator and a memo tool into one. Unlike other apps, there is no Numpad to enter numbers. Instead, you can type in your expression via the keyboard and the calculator will automatically solve it and display the result.
Hopefully, one of the apps on this list will perfectly suit your needs. In case nothing seems right for you, you can explore the Microsoft Store, where you'll find calculator apps galore. It is not necessary to buy the premium versions; free versions will suffice too.
In Windows 10, Microsoft ditched the good old calculator app and replaced it with a new Modern app, which we wrote about recently here: Run Calculator in Windows 10 directly. Many people are not happy with this change because the old Calc.exe loaded faster, and was more usable for mouse/keyboard users. If you would like to get the classic Calculator app back in Windows 10, it is possible. In this article, we will take a look at the Old Calculator for Windows 10 program which will allow you to get Calculator from Windows 8 and Windows 7 in Windows 10.
Update: a new version of Old Calculator is available. In this version, I made it possible for the old calculator to "survive" after sfc /scannow, Windows Update and so on. No system files will be replaced any more.
Hello, thank you for the excellent work. Maybe you can help me with a quick issue. In prior versions of windows, if you used executed the program using your keyboard short cut you could immediately start typing in the calculator. Now in windows 10 if you execute the calculator you then have to click on the open calculator before you can type. Huge drag as though does not sound time consuming, when you need to use the calculator often it is a hassle, especially trying to break the habit of executing the calculator and trying to immediately use it only to be throwing out blanks lol. Thanks!1
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hate the abomination that is Windows 10 calculator. It looks like a kindergarten class designed it with the added bonus of 1 out of 10 times I use it I can actually type in numbers from my keyboard :( You sir, are a godsend!
In command prompt, there is no way to bind calc1 to calc unless you will use aliases as mentioned here:
-to-set-aliases-for-the-command-prompt-in-windows/
I suggest you just to type calc1 instead.
I will look if Image File Execution Options\Debugger is suitable for calc. Thanks for the idea.
Is it possible that you could use the calculator that comes with Windows10 LTSB version instead in the installer?
Since it is newer but still old type calculator.

Thank you for the great work! Quick question: In old calculator, when I pressed the calculator shortcut on my keyboard, if it was open, it would only switch to it instead of opening a new one. Now every press results in a new copy of the calc.exe running. Is there a way to make it work like it used to?
After taking ownership of the calc.exe and replacing it with your file it would not run. I remember the old version of your calculator used to take over instead of being number 2. Is it possible to download that somewhere?
The previously mentioned problem that now every time I press the calculator shortcut on my keyboard it keeps opening a new copy of the calculator. The previous version just switched to the already opened version. I understand that the previous version overwritten some system files and that it would not make it past an upgrade but I am happy to keep reinstalling it in exchange to have it work in a way that makes a lot more sense to me. :)
What do you like about the Calculator? It is slow on even slightly older PCs, has no menu bar and most functions are hidden inside one stupid hamburger menu button. You cannot even have unit conversion next to the calculator.
At home (Pro) I have not received that update and both pinning and focus appear to work fine. I can press the calculator button and focus is correct. (OTOH, focus could be intermittent and it has just been working any time I need it)
Are you worried about the look or about the functionality? You can create the exact look of the windows calculator by creating custom buttons and arranging them accordingly. Simply open the windows calculator and duplicate the look.
I've run into an odd issue regarding SEB and the calculator in WIndwos 10. Basically after adding the calculator as an allowed app I can launch SEB and press the button to launch the calculator but nothing will happen. Once I exit SEB the calculator will just be sitting on my desktop, so it looks like it launches but it just stays behind the SEB window until you exit.
My thinking right now is that it has to do with the fact that the calculator is now a modern app. Launching calc.exe seems to redirect to a new calculator.exe that lives in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\
