    Windows 10 auto minimising some apps eg Calculator, Settings; Help app; etc


    As an example, I open Calculator and start using it and it randomly minimises. Might be immediately; after a few seconds; when being used; when not being used. Very inconsistent.


    Very very frustrating!


    Any ideas please?

    :)

    Microsoft Adds Ability to Block Win32 Apps from Install on Windows 10

    Yes, UWP is an interpreter, an app running in UWP can't function without the interpreter. Only the UWP core has access to the actual hardware, the app does not.

    By not having direct access to the hardware, they perform slower. UWP has to translate everything and make sure it passes safety and security checks.

    If UWP has issues, all of the apps running on top of it also will. I've seen that in early release of Windows 10 where all UWP based, Windows-included apps broke (Edge, Calculator, Mail, etc.). Granted, it was only broke in one user account.

    Windows 10 auto minimising some apps eg Calculator, Settings; Help app; etc

    Unable to close Calculator app on Windows 10.

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to ask if the issue persists with other Windows Apps as well.

    I suggest you to press/hold the left click button on the title bar of the calculator and drag the Windows to shrink the size of the Windows and check if the close (X) option appears. If the issue still persists, then suggest you to run the Windows Store
    Apps troubleshooter by following the steps provided below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
    • Click on View all on top left pane.
    • Select “Windows Store Apps” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
