  2. When I press A or any key calculator opens.

    Dear kulk Gaming,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community



    Thank you for reaching out with your concern about the Calculator app unexpectedly opening when pressing keys like 'A' on your keyboard. I understand how frustrating this can be, and I'm committed to assisting you in resolving this unusual behavior.

    To troubleshoot this issue effectively, please follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows + Ctrl + O to bring up the on-screen keyboard.
    2. Click any key on the on-screen keyboard to observe if the Calculator app appears.
    3. If the Calculator app does appear, it suggests a deeper issue possibly related to third-party programs or system settings. In such cases, I recommend reviewing recently installed software or making adjustments to system settings. Alternatively, you may consider performing a system restore to a point before the issue began.

      If the Calculator app does not appear when using the on-screen keyboard, it indicates that the unusual keyboard behavior may not be directly related to Windows itself. In this scenario, I advise reaching out to your computer hardware manufacturer for further assistance. They can conduct hardware diagnostics and repairs as necessary to address any underlying hardware issues.
    Please conduct these steps and let me know the results of your tests. Should you continue to experience issues with the on-screen keyboard or require further assistance, I'm here to provide additional support.



    Best Regards,

    Martin | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

  3. I"m having a problem with the keyboard in Windows 10

    Hi Robert,

    I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard. I will try to help you with this issue.


    • Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?
    Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

    Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

    Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:


    • Press Windows key + R to get the run window.

    • Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Thank you.

  4. I'm having trouble with my external keyboard. Some keys open the calculator automatically...

    Calculator opening automatically on pressing keys

    I don't how but in Windows 10 Pro Calculator is automatically opening on pressing any random key like sometimes on I or L or ; or volume key. So I decided to forcefully uninstall it via PowerShell but now itsi asking "You'll need an app to open calculator"
    so in short it didn't work.

    I tried

    1. changing my language and region

    2. Readding keyboard layout

    3. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers

    But none of thr worked.

    Can anyone help me?
