Windows 10: Windows Calculator Not Opening

The Calculator Splash screen will come up, then it immediately closes. That's it.


I had previously Transferred the profile from an older computer to a newer computer using MizWig, I even backed up the AppData folder, I'm wondering if this is the source of the problems.


I'll cover what steps I've taken so far below.


1. First I reset the Calculator app.


2. I re-installed the Calculator app via PowerShell with


Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsCalculator | Remove-AppxPackage


and


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


3. I ran the windows store troubleshooter.


4. I reset Windows Store via Command Prompt with


WSreset.exe


5. I re-registered all Store apps via PowerShell with


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


6. I reinstalled Windows Store via Powershell with


Get-AppxPackage -allusers *WindowsStore* | Remove-AppxPackage


and


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


Calculator still would do the same thing, if anything, the Splash Screen seems to close faster now. So I signed onto the computer with a different profile, and what do you know, the calculator opens. So I decided to rebuild the profile.


7. I rebuild the offending profile and guess what, the Calculator app still closes on the splash screen.


I'm at a loss, so I've pasted the Application Fault log below to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.

windows 10 calculator won't open

The Windows 10 Calculator simply doesnt open. It is still in the apps list and it appears when I use Windows logo key + R, but it doesnt open. Windows store lists it as Installed. It is impossible to simply remove and reinstall as it is part of a larger
package. The only option seems to be to use a different calculator.
