Calculator App not Working in Windows 11

Question

Hi, I am Rubiat.

I am facing an issue in my environment. In my environment some Windows 11 machines are facing an issue to open calculator app. When we tried to open calculator app, it was not opening and also didn't give any error. So, I want to clarify some following scenario where I am facing it:

When I log in to my machine with local users, I can open calculator app

When I log in with my domain account, I can't open calculator app.

I downloaded it from app store also, but the result remains same

When the same domain user login another machine then he can open it properly so this issue is not related with my domain account

All windows 11 machines are not facing this issue. Only few machines are facing this.

Now, please anyone suggest me how to resolved this issue. It becomes now an urgent issue. So, I need to resolve it as early as possible. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hello,

Try re-registering Calculator app. Perform these steps:

1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.
2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
3. Then type following command and press Enter key:

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

Let the command complete.

Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now.

Let us know if this helps!

Hi there,

-Log out of the user profile with the issue and log back in as Local Admin
-Open Run Box (WIN KEY+R)
-Type systempropertiesadvanced then hit enter
-Open "Settings..." under "User Profiles"
-Find the affected account, then delete
-Reboot device
-Log the domain user in again and check the calculator app.

If it is not helpful try this.

1. Run Powershell as Administrator
2. Run these commands one at a time (note AllUsers in the commands): Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Hope this resolves your Query !!
