    Calculator App Not Working - Cortana is missing - (Probably User Account is corrupted)


    Hello, I think I know what causes this problem (User Account is corrupted or misconfigured somehow) but I don't know how to fix it.


    So it's because I changed my user account folder name via cmd on boot for 5-6 months ago, and now it's all working fine, however ALL windows 10 default app like:

    - Calculator (and other windows 10 app)

    - Microsoft Store


    When I opened the app it closes immediately. Also cortana is missing.

    How do i fix this?


    My windows specifications:

    Windows 10 Home Single Language

    Version: 1903

    OS Build: 18362.356


    I just updated my windows 2 days ago, however this problem is already exists before the update, it's been long time but I ignore them for long time, now I think it's good to fix this.

    :)

    Can't use Windows Store App or calculator

    Hi,

    I realize that you are unable to use Windows Store App or calculator.

    The issue might be caused due to corruption in system files or corrupted user account.

    I suggest you to follow the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter.

    • Type Troubleshooting in search box and press Enter
      key.
    • Click on View all on top left pane.
    • Select Windows Store Apps from the list and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If the issue is unresolved, perform step 2.

    Step 2: Create a new user account.

    Refer to the below link to create a local user account.

    Windows 10 Calculator not working

    Hello,

    If a default Windows 10 app is missing or not working correctly, it might be due to the system being outdated or there is a corruption within the system or profile that you are using. For us to isolate the issue in launching the Calculator app in Windows
    10, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • Did the problem in opening the app started recently?
    • When attempting to open the app, are there any error messages that appear?
    • Are you able to launch the app using another local account?

    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you check if there are updates that are waiting to be installed on your device. If there are, kindly install them and restart your device. After restarting, attempt to launch the app.

    We look forward to an update from you.

    Window's 10 Calculator won't launch

    Hi Dan,

    There could be a number of factors as to why you are having issues launching the Calculator app on Windows 10. This could be caused by a software conflict or due to the application itself.

    You may consider resetting the Calculator app. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & feature.
    • Click the Calculator app from the list and then choose Advanced options.
    • Click Reset.

    If the issue persists, I suggest that you create a new user account. This is for us to check if the issue is due to a corrupted user profile. To do this, select the Start button, then select
    Settings > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
