    Windows 10 Calculator not working on second user account


    Hi All! I have read a lot about the Windows 10 Calculator issues and none of the fixes I've come across (this site and others) are doing the trick. I tried to "re-register" the apps, but that just grinds for a bit then fails. I can easily access and use the Win10 calc in my other profile, but when I switch users it doesn't even open. I can see it in the Start menu, but nothing happens when I click/select it. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Really, I'm open to anything short of re-installing at this point.

    EDIT: I don't want to use a third party solution.

    TIA,
    fischeek

    :)

    Windows 10 Calculator with more than one user

    My Windows 10 computer has the calculator and it works when there is just one user. I then created another Windows user account and calculator works as well for the other user. However, now calculator doesn't work anymore for the original account. For all
    I know there may be other programs or apps that might be affected as well but so far I haven't found any, just calculator for now. I then deleted the second user account, restore the settings to an earlier point and then calculator worked again in the primary
    user account.

    I have set up a second user account 3 times, each with a slightly different method or email or account type and each time calculator works in the new account but no longer works in the primary/master account. When I deleted the second account, calculator
    worked again in the primary account.

    How can I get calculator to work for more than one account?

    I tried the powershell fix I saw mentioned in another post and it doesn't work:

    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    Thank you
