  1. Windows 10 Calculator


    I would like to know a keyboard shortcut to bring the calculator to the front, without having to click it with my mouse. I use the calculator all day trying to kick the adding machine habit!. The added step of having to mouse click before i can start entering numbers is not working all that well.

    I have a shortcut to open the calculator, which is working, but I end up with 20 calculator windows open.


    As a side questions, and not the priority here, is there a way to configure the calculator to be a similar data entry style to an adding machine?

    :)

    Windows 10 Calculator app gets always on top and compact mode features

    Why not make a suggestion on the Feedback Hub.

    I think this is a step in the right direction. I use Calculator daily.

  3. Window's 10 Calculator won't launch

    Hi Dan,

    There could be a number of factors as to why you are having issues launching the Calculator app on Windows 10. This could be caused by a software conflict or due to the application itself.

    You may consider resetting the Calculator app. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & feature.
    • Click the Calculator app from the list and then choose Advanced options.
    • Click Reset.

    If the issue persists, I suggest that you create a new user account. This is for us to check if the issue is due to a corrupted user profile. To do this, select the Start button, then select
    Settings > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
