Windows 10: Windows 11 Calculator App focus problem

Hello everybody, i have this problem with Windows 11 since the windows was avaliable and i updated my license from Windows 10 to 11, i use the default windows calculator and the way i normally open it is by pressing the Windows Key and type ''calc'' on the search bar from start menu, it work perfectly since Windows 7, right after i hit Enter i can start using the num keyboard and start doing the math, the problem is that every single time i open the calc on Windows 11 i have no manualy click on the Calc window or press alt + tab to focus on it otherwise all i try to type goes to the search on

:)

There is a workaround. It will both solve the focus issue and the multi instance issue.

• Pin the Calculator App to the taskbar
• Find the Windows Button + Number shortcut assigned to it (let's say it is Wn + 1)
• Go to Mouse and Keyboard Center
• Create a Macro such as Wn (pressed); 10ms; 1; 10ms; Wn(Released)
• Assign it to the key.
• Voilá. It works flawlessly.

The downside is that you now are obliged to keep Calculator pinned to the taskbar, and, of course, if you pin something else on it's place, your Calc button will open something else (that's why 1 is a good choice).

Just pin Calculator to the Taskbar! I had the same problem with a Microsoft keyboard Calculator button where focus would not be on it when launched. However It did work correctly when launched from a shortcut. So i tried pinning it and focus is now back
on Calculator when i launch it from my keyboard button!
