Windows 10: Keyboard Calculator Shortcut - Opens Calculator but I must click within program to start...

So my problem is after using my logitech wireless keyboard calculator button to successfully open the default windows calculator program, I then must click into the program to start using it. For example, as I write this, I press the calc button on the keyboard and the calculator app pops up. But the computer still thinks I am active on this website, in this text box so that any numbers I press on my keyboard to do a calculation result in them being typed into this text box. Is there a setting or something that would allow me to get the calculator app to be active, after I press the calc butto

Calculator keyboard shortcuts don't work in Windows 10!

To my dismay, calculator keyboard shortcut doesn't work in windows 10! It did with Windows 8.1. The Snipping Tool keyboard shortcut works in Windows 10. When I do a Search on calculator, it lists it under Programs but when I click on Open folder location,
it opens the Desktop and the calculator is NOT on the Desktop. What's going on?

 

How to configure keyboard shortcut to open calculator in Windows 10?

Just purchased a new computer with Windows 10 and the new keyboard does not have a button on it to open the calculator. I am finding I really really really miss having this button. I have a Fn button
on the keyboard I am wondering if I can program it to open the calculator, like a shortcut( "Fn+C" or "Ctrl+Alt+C" ) to open calculator. My keyboard is Dell KB216 Multimedia Keyboard.
