You can't by default uninstall preinstalled apps.

Unless you mean just removing the app in the start menu in generalities.

Did you try clearing the cache and restart your system?

Use Disk Cleanup utility in Windows on your C:\ drive, and click on the "Clean up system files" button, and check the appropriate boxes, and click on OK. Restart after.

Yeah clearing the cache or restarting Windows should do the trick.

 

If that doesn't fix it then you have a bad install and need to go re-install Windows.

Hmm intersting. Can you create a new account, and see if the problem is there as well?

 

[update]

Oh! forgot to mention, to uninstall Calculator, open PowerShell as true Admin, and type and execute:

Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart your system, now to install it back, fire up the Windows Store app, and search for Windows Calculator and install it

[Jan Lao]

actually once I created a new account this what it looks like, i just ran some installation powershell script to try to bring it back but it failed so now thats what im dealing with.

[GoodBytes]

What PowerShell script you executed? Because there is a lot of crap on the web for "fixing" issues in Windows, which does make it worst

i copied the folders package from another windows 10 machine to this PC then i ran this script in powershell "Get-AppxPackage -allusers *windowscalculator* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}" after that it rename it self to Calculator with the blank icon but still it is not working after clicking it.
