Windows 10: Upgraded to 365 and the Calculator Displays Calc Differently; Can We Change it Back?

One of our users doesn't like the new way that his calculations are displayed and he wonders if we could change it back to how it was. These are lawyers that use the calculator to count up hours every day and they like to go back and double-check what they've included/added up.


It used to be like this: He adds a series of numbers together, and it stayed in one string and he could easily see what he was adding. The numbers just showed as he was entering them, like 2+3+2+3. He could go back later into the history to see what he added, like this: 2+3+2+3=10.


Now, since we upgraded to 365, it subtotals each two numbers and then the next two, and so it's harder to see the numbers were 2,3,2 and 3. Now, it would look like this:


7+3=

10

5+2=

7

2+3=

5


We realize this is a small thing, but we do wonder if we could configure the calculator to work like it used to.


Thanks!

calculator suddenly changes

I was working with the Windows Calculator, scientific mode.

I closed the calc, then when reopened, the scientifc mode changed.

Before I had the roots function on the same "page".
Now there's a new button "2nd" that I have to click to see the roots function.






Same if calc is full-screen.

What happened ?


Can I go back to the previous scientific calc ?

• Entered Calculator and did 1+1
• Pressed the Start Button
• Changed theme back to dark
• Entered calculator

The keys in Calc are indeed now white on white.
