Calendar app in All Apps "Pin to Start" is greyed and does not respond

Just making sure that I understand. Are you saying that this app is or is not in your list of apps?

So if it is greyed out it must be on your START page. Are you sure it has not been moved into (on top of) another item that is on your START page?
