    I have a button on my Logitech keyboard that opens Calculator, but if I'm using Notepad, it won't open. I have to switch to something else in order for the button to open Calculator. Is there any way to fix this?

    Keyboard shortcut to open the calculator

    Have you try yourself before putting the answer ? It's working for many programs in Windows 10 like Notepad but

    the step: "Click on Calculator and drag it to desktop"

    do not work because Calculator is an App.

    I am surprised that a Microsoft Engineer did not try before answering.

    calculator button

    The calculator button on my keyboard no longer opens the calculator. It launches the "add an account" email feature.
