Next we will see if there is an update for the Calculator app itself. Most of the time you can see what the update is about, and maybe an app is mentioned? If you have any questions, feel free to comment.Under the Windows Update tab on the left, you can check for and install new updates. You can read my previous post on how to use the SFC command in Windows. If you’re not running Windows XP, you can try running system file checker (SFC), which is a built-in command that checks all the system files to make sure they exist and are not corrupt. expand -r X:\I386\calc.ex_ c:\windows\system32Įxpand -r X:\I386\calc.ch_ c:\windows\help If you have a Windows XP CD, you can also try popping the CD in and running these two commands, where X is your CD/DVD drive letter. If not, you can download the calculator app from the Microsoft Store. In Windows 10, the calculator app should already be installed by default. You can also click on View and choose Standard to remove the conversion options on the left and just have the old standard calculator. If you don’t like the Calculator app that comes with Windows 8 and Windows 10, you can always download this version and use it instead.
Thankfully, you can click on View and then choose Classic View to get a normal looking version of the calculator. It’s purple and has oval buttons and looks terrible. Once you download and install it, you’ll probably be shocked by the horrible UI that is set by default. If for some reason, you can’t get Calculator working on your system, just download it from Microsoft (now it’s only available from CNET). Method 3 – Download Calculator from Microsoft With an administrator rights Explorer window, you should now be able to copy and paste the calc.exe file into the System32 directory. In Windows 10, right-click on the Explorer (Run Command) option. To do that, click on Start, type in Explorer and then right-click on Windows Explorer and choose Run as Administrator. If you get an error message when trying to copy to the System32 directory, you need to make sure you open Windows Explorer as an administrator. If you can’t find the CHM file, don’t worry, all you really need is the EXE file. After that, you can just create a shortcut to the calc.exe file on your Start Menu or wherever you like.
Obviously, you’ll find both of these files in those two directories on another computer that has the calculator working. The second way to get Calculator back and probably the easier method is to simply copy the calc.exe file over from another machine to your C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Method 2 – Copy calc.exe (All Windows Versions) Now click OK all the way back and XP will go ahead and reinstall the calculator! If you can’t get a hold of a Windows XP disc, then try the second method.
Now make sure to check the Calculator box. Now click on Accessories and click the Details button again.
