Hi Carmi,

This can be an annoying problem, but you should be able to fix it with one of the solutions.

Solution 1 – Re-register Windows 10 apps using PowerShell
  1. In the Search Bar type PowerShell and right click PowerShell app from the list of results.
  2. From the menu choose Run as administrator.
    Windows 10 Calculator doesn't run
  3. When the PowerShell starts paste the following line and press Enter to run it:
    • Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}Calculator won't open in Windows 10
  4. This will re-register all Windows 10 apps on your computer. Wait for the process to finish and then try running Calculator again.
Solution 2 – Create a new user account
This issue can be caused by problems with your current user account, but you can fix that by creating a new user account and switching to it.
  1. In the Search bar type add user and choose Add, edit, or remove other users from the list of results. You could also do that by going to the Settings > Accounts >Family & other users.
    Windows 10 Calculator opens then closes
  2. In the Family & other users section click the Add someone else to this PC.
    Windows 10 Calculator not working administrator
  3. Click on I don’t have this person’s sign-in information.
    Windows 10 Calculator crash
  4. Now click on Add a user without a Microsoft account.
    Windows 10 Calculator doesn't start
  5. Now you need to enter username and password for local account.
    Calculator won't open in Windows 10
  6. After you’ve created a new account switch to it, and see if the Calculator works.
  7. If everything works, you can delete your old account, but remember to copy your personal files and documents to your new account. We also have to mention that even though you’re using a local account you can easily turn it into a Microsoft account so you’ll still have access to all apps that you used to have.
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh

I kept getting the blue screen with Driver Power State Failure error message and then my computer would restart. I found your product and it did not happen any more. I just purchased an anti-virus (kaspersky) and now it is doing it again. It is so frustrating. My computer is only 6 months old. It is a Asus desktop.
