I want to continue on same calculator with history, how do I do this?

Answer 1

Hello,

Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Calculator and click the three dots next to it, then select Advanced options. Perform the following actions:

Terminate

Repair

Reset

After completing these steps, open the Calculator again and see whether it can save history.

Answer 2

To ensure that your calculator retains its settings and history, you may need to check the synchronization settings for the Calculator app. If your settings are not syncing as expected, you can configure the policy settings to manage synchronization. Here's how:

1. Policy Configuration: If you are using a managed device, the synchronization of user settings for the Calculator can be controlled through Group Policy settings. You can enable or disable the synchronization of Calculator user settings.
   • If enabled, the settings will continue to synchronize across devices.
   • If disabled, the settings will not synchronize.
2. Check for Updates: Ensure that your system and the Calculator app are updated to the latest version, as updates can sometimes resolve issues related to app behavior.
3. User Settings: If you are experiencing issues after an update, it may be beneficial to reset the app or check if any new settings were introduced that could affect its functionality.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance with your specific configuration and settings.
