Как установить калькулятор в windows 10 через powershell

Инструкция по восстановлению калькулятора на Windows 10, если он вдруг отсутствует в списке установленных приложений.

Microsoft заменила большинство своих устаревших приложений современными приложениями в Windows 10. Это включает приложение калькулятора. Иногда приложение калькулятора отсутствует или по ошибке удаляется из Windows 10.

В этой статье мы обсудим, как исправить отсутствие калькулятора Windows 10 или как снова установить его из Microsoft Store.

Как установить калькулятор из Microsoft Store в Windows 10

Если на вашем компьютере нет калькулятора или он был случайно удален, вот как вы можете загрузить и установить приложение из магазина Microsoft. Обратите внимание, что вы должны войти в свой профиль, используя учетную запись Microsoft.

Просто скачайте калькулятор Windows по ссылке.

Использование сочетаний клавиш для выполнения простых задач всегда было нашим любимым в Windows 10. Однако по умолчанию для калькулятора не назначены сочетания клавиш. Это можно изменить, выполнив следующие действия:

  1. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши пустое место на рабочем столе, разверните «Создать» и нажмите «Ярлык».
  2. В окне «Создать ярлык» введите следующий путь в поле «Введите расположение элемента» или просто нажмите «Обзор» и перейдите к приложению «Калькулятор Windows».

После запуска приложения вы увидите окно, подобное показанному ниже.

Помимо основных вычислений, которые можно выполнять с клавиатуры, верхняя панель состоит из различных функций.

Вы можете проверить выполненные старые вычисления, щелкнув значок в виде часов в правом верхнем углу или щелкнув среднюю кнопку, чтобы калькулятор всегда находился поверх других приложений. Стандарт указывает на то, что калькулятор находится в режиме Standard, который можно изменить, нажав на трех баров слева от него.

После щелчка по трем полосам вам будет представлен список вариантов на выбор. Калькулятор можно преобразовать в научный режим для более сложных вычислений или в графический режим для построения графиков из уравнений. Режим программиста можно использовать для преобразования значений между десятичными, шестнадцатеричными, октановыми или двоичными числами.

Спустившись вниз по меню, калькулятор также предлагает ряд различных преобразований для мгновенных результатов.

Эти особенности указывают на то, что это приложение может быть чрезвычайно полезным даже при выполнении повседневных регулярных задач.

  4. Теперь найдите Microsoft.WindowsCalculator в заголовке Name и обратите внимание на имя перед PackageFullName, выбрав его и затем щелкнув правой кнопкой мыши, чтобы скопировать.

    В этом примере полное имя пакета: Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.2007.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
  5. Теперь введите следующую команду в PowerShell и замените PackageFullName именем, скопированным из PowerShell.

Uninstall and Reinstall Calculator App

Some users have reported that the Windows Calculator has somehow gone missing on their computers. However, upon trying to reinstall it using the method shared above, they are prompted with “The app is already installed.”

This is the perfect example of the installation packages remaining on the system, but the application is either removed or corrupted.

If you are in a similar situation, follow these steps to mitigate the issue and reinstall Windows Calculator:

  1. Open Windows PowerShell with elevated privileges and run the following cmdlet:

    get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsCalculator* | remove-appxpackage

    Uninstall Windows Calculator from PowerShell

Once the Calculator app is reinstalled, check to see if you can run it. This method usually solves the issues.

However, if you find that the method has failed, you can try the given solutions discussed below.

Run Windows Store Troubleshooter

The Windows operating system comes with built-in troubleshooters for different components. It also has a combined troubleshooter for all Microsoft Store applications. If you find that the Calculator app is installed but not running, you can run the Windows Store troubleshooter. Here is how:

  1. Navigate to the following:

    Settings app >> Update & security >> Troubleshoot >> Additional Troubleshooters

SFC is a mechanism of the Windows File Protection feature.

Simply run the following cmdlet in an elevated Command Prompt and the tool will do the rest:

sfc /scannow

sfc

Run the SFC scan

The command will take a while to execute completely. When done, recheck if the Windows Calculator is functional now.

Reset the Windows Calculator App

If the method above did not work for you, try resetting the Calculator app. This will bring the app back to its default state.

Question

Issue: How to fix corrupted Calculator app on Windows 10?

Calculator stopped working. The app opens quickly and closes after several seconds. I used it yesterday and everything was OK. No updates installed, not system changes initiated. What should I do?

Solved Answer

Windows Calculator[1] is a pre-installed application that is available on each Windows desktop computers and laptops. It comes with a set of pre-installed default apps, including Windows Store, 3D Builder, Maps, Camera, Calendar, Calculator, Microsoft Edge, Groove Music, and some others. Unfortunately, all of them might crash or become unresponsive any minute.

Many Windows 10 users reported about issues with a corrupted calculator app. The app does not open completely or opens, but then suddenly freezes and closes automatically. This might happen due to Windows updates, driver-related problems, third-party software and other issues. Fortunately, all of these problems can be fixed quite easily, and you can get to your counting again.

While some people use them on a daily basis, others find Calculator and other apps useless and want to get rid of them in order to save up space on the hard drive or speed up the device. However, unlike many users think, pre-installed apps do not run in the background continuously, which means that they are using CPU[2] only when the user starts the app manually.

Besides, apps like Calendar or Calculator take up very little space, so removing them won’t definitely solve the problem of free space lack. If you are not planning to use a pre-installed app, you can always Unpin it from Start. However, removal of default tools is not recommended due to the risk of damaging some crucial system files or breaking Windows 10 install.

Therefore, you should not try to fix corrupted calculator app by simply uninstalling it. This may lead to further problems. Even if you use this app rarely, it’s better to solve its problems correctly. Our team is here to help you.

You can also bypass geo-restrictions and view such services as Netflix, BBC, Disney+, and other popular streaming services without limitations, regardless of where you are.

Malware attacks, particularly ransomware, are by far the biggest danger to your pictures, videos, work, or school files. Since cybercriminals use a robust encryption algorithm to lock data, it can no longer be used until a ransom in bitcoin is paid. Instead of paying hackers, you should first try to use alternative recovery methods that could help you to retrieve at least some portion of the lost data. Otherwise, you could also lose your money, along with the files. One of the best tools that could restore at least some of the encrypted files –  Data Recovery Pro.
