I went the upgrade route and my calculator works.

Good deal.. not sure why Chuck is having issues.

I downloaded it from the store, and it's still not working properly.

Have you downloaded any graphics programs that might mess up your calc? I say that because of the pic that you posted look kind of tweeked. There is a free classic looking calc right beside the windows calculator in the store. Or wait for the next build that's coming soon. Have a good night and say hello to Lucy for me.

I have a couple programs, but I don't think that could interfere with the app. I think it didn't install right when I updated to 10049.

Except your clock seems to be about a month off....

That's the clock in my head which is off. On May 6 I will be back (landing) in Germany. Maybe that's what I was thinking.

I gave up on all this garbage and got the old calc app back. Downloads / Software / Old Calculator for Windows 10 from Windows 7 or Windows 8 If I had a dollar for everything that MS broke with Win 10 I could buy a bunch of Apple stock.

Oh, the calculator is working fine on the RTM.

Try this with a Powershell with Admin:

Code:

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_2015.914.10.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

It's down to personal preference, I think the old calc is is easier on the eyes far less obtrusive than the new one. A big black rectangle clashes with my decor :)
