  1. Bug in calc.exe, it retrieves wrong results


    I noticed a possible bug in the calculator of Windows 10. If you try to subtract any number by 1/11 including the brackets, the calculator retrieves a wrong result.


    Example:

    If you try to compute 60 - 1/11 the calculator gives 0,090909090 which is obviously wrong


    I think that for some reason the program does not take into account the subtraction since the value generated corresponds to the result of 1/11.

    :)

  2. Search not returning majority of apps such as "calc"

    After some failed Windows Updates and a messy reboot resulted in numerous issues with my setup, I was forced to run the "Reset your PC" option from my Windows 10 install media. After this I have had a number of issues, one of which is that now it seems that
    the search functionality in the start menu is not working as intended.

    The search is able to find some installd programs, such as Steam and Camtasia. However, it does not seem able to find any of the pre-installed applications, for example: "calc".

    When I type in "calc" in the search field the search only suggests that I could "search my stuff" for a file called "calc" and eventually finds a number of related image files, but not the actual calculator application. If I add in the ".exe" to the end,
    then Windows does manage to find calc.exe.

    So far I have tried scripts for reinstalling all default apps, reinstalling cortana, repairing the start menu and turning the windows search -service on and off, but to no avail. What other steps could I take to try and restore full search functionality
    to my Windows or should I be looking into a full OS reinstall at this point?

  3. Retrieving Windows 10 chkdsk D: /r results

    I performed the task and the results are "Event ID: 26226. Number of events: 0. Most of the suggestions that I have found for retrieving chkdsk results are for the OS drive C:. This is an external disk connected via USB 3.1_1.

    Bug in calc.exe, it retrieves wrong results

    Search results in wrong language

    Thank you for your quick response.

    Unfortunately, I had already tried this but it is not working. I tried it again, but search results are still displayed in the wrong language. Problem is, after step 9 ("Put a check mark on Welcome
    screen and system accounts
    and New user accounts") I click OK, but if I open the same window again ("Copy settings") the boxes are unchecked.

    Any other suggestions please? It is really unpleasant.

    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
