Sadly it said I didn't have permission to save over calc.exe, They have the windows folder locked down in regards to any tampering.
I'm trying System File Checker, will report back later with results.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsCalculator | Remove-AppxPackage
and
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsCalculator | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
WSreset.exe
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
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.
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.

Wonder if you can copy the calc.exe file from another pc and paste it in.
Can't hurt to try cause you have to go nuclear anyway.
it's in c:\windows\system32\calc.exe
Yeah you did great at troubleshooting so that is the last option.
It is odd that one app is having issues.
Can you open notepad and other store apps okay?
I was afraid to hear that, but it's understandable. I'll have to re-image it from our MDT server. I'm certain this fix will take care of it.
I was actually hoping if someone could explain how it got messed up so I could avoid this in the future. My gut tells me it has something to do with MizWig and the AppData folder.
This is the first company I've worked at where they don't disabled access to the Microsoft Store and many employees sign into the Store and Apps with their personal Microsoft Credentials.
