Calculator resize

Question

My calculator fills up the whole screen.  How do I resize?  Also, I can't use 'size' when I click right top corner.  It is greyed out and can't be access.  I have recently upgraded to microsoft 10.  Some help would be great!

Answer 1

Good day! I apologize that you are having this issue and I am hoping we can work through it and fix it.

1. Try to double click the top of the calculator window and see if it resizes itself.
2. Try to reset the calculator:

Open the Settings App - Apps

Scroll down to find the Calculator App

Click the Calculator App

Select 'Advanced Options'

Click 'Reset' on the resulting Settings Page

Please keep me updated on the situation as I continue to research and find the fix with you!

Answer 2

Resize it again, then hold ctrl + click the X to close to the problem. Open it again. Did it stay the same size?

Answer 3

Yes that's right.  But it would be great if the size I want stays that way.  So no having to resize it every time I use it.

Answer 4

Please try these steps and check after each step. If these don't work, let me know. I will provide further troubleshooting steps.

1. Run Windows App troubleshooter

Windows Key+X > Click Settings > Click Update & security > Click Troubleshoot > Scroll down to the bottom > Click Windows Store Apps > Click Run the Troubleshooter

2. Try to reset the app

Windows Key+i > Apps > Scroll down to this App > Click this App > Advanced options > Reset

3. Windows Key+i > Apps > Scroll down to this App > Click this App > Uninstall. If Uninstall is not enabled -

Uninstall - Right click on Windows Start > Click Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below and paste into Powershell and Enter

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsCalculator | Remove-AppxPackage

B. Reinstall

Right click on Windows Start > Click Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below command and right click in Powershell to paste > Enter

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsCalculator | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

(If there is a problem in reinstall, you can always reinstall from MS Store)

Thank you for your reply.  I have tried both and it works but the size goes back to full screen once I close and reopen calculator.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks again!
