Windows 10: Microsoft calculator

The Calculator gives 2 different answers for the following equation: 5 - 5x5 +5. The standard (default option) calculator gives the answer of 5 which is wrong while the scientific option gives the correct answer of -15. This should be corrected so that anyone using the standard calculator can depend on the answers being mathematically correct.

Windows 10 Calculator

Hi,

Some of the reasons why the calculator app will not work properly are: the program encountered a corrupted system files, virus and malware, and another application is conflicting with it.

We suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the calculator. In doing so, you will have a fresh copy of the application which will eliminate the issue. Here are the steps:

• Right-click on the Start menu.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Allow the application to make changes, Type in Powershell then, click
  Enter.
• Type in Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage then, click
  Enter.
• Type in Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Add-AppxPackage then, click
  Enter.
• Restart the computer after the process and try accessing the menu of the calculator.

Don't hesitate to provide your feedback.
