Windows 10: calculator after update

I just updated windows (Feb-2019). The calculator size has changed. Now it takes more than half of the screen.

This is completely useless. Now I cannot ujse calculator while viewing numbers in some other application in background. And has now only half screen and full screen size. Should I now use a mobile or switch back to physical calculators for getting job done?


Avoid such changes, it has completely made using calculator pointless on a PC.
