Windows 10: Calculating in the start menu

I remember being able to do basic calculations directly from the windows menu, but I can't get it to work now.
is it still possible?

Like, i would just press the Windows key, type "2+2" and it would say "4"

If the feature is removed, is there any other way to instantly do basic math on windows, i do a lot of small calculations during work, so it would be amazing not to have to open the calculator every time

Thanks

Calculation in Start Menu Search

We then suggest that you try to check for updates by following the steps below:

Press the Windows key.

Click on Settings.

Choose Update & security.

Then click on Windows Update.

Select Check for updates.

After Windows update, you may have to restart your device and check if you can now do a calculation in the Start menu.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Gamhacker,

We appreciate your time and efforts to get back to us.

As the issue persists only with the calculator app, you may try to uninstall the apps which came inbuilt with Windows 10 using Windows PowerShell and reinstall using Windows store. Follow the below steps to uninstall and reinstall the Calculator
app.

• 
  Open the Start menu, type
  Windows PowerShell in the search bar.
  
• 
  Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select
  Run as administrator.
  
• 
  Enter the below command to reinstall the Photos app.
  
  get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsCalculator* | remove-appxpackage
  

Note: After performing the above steps, install the Calculator app form the Windows store.

Now, you may try to open the Calculator app and check the functionality.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.
