Calculator Lost?
Seems I lost my 'calculator' after the last update.
Anyone else? I know I used it several weeks ago. Thanks, Buffalo |

It can do content searches, and the content search is multithreaded. If you have it scan a source tarball you've unpacked, it will read multiple files at the same time (N threads). If you have an SSD, and had a 4C 8T processor, it can scan 8 files for text strings at the same time. Basically, it gives you almost the same capabilities as the search in Windows XP. Paul |

Paul Well, I do have an SSD and thanks for the Agent Ransack. Free suggestion. Strange thing is that before the windows update, I could just type cal into that magnifying glass search option and the calculator immediately showed up. Not since. Curious as to why this happened. Now if I type in calc I just find Libre Office calc. Either way, thanks for your reply and I enjoy reading your posts and they are factual and helpful. -- Buffalo |

If Windows Store says it's installed, find it in SettingsApps, click on it, choose "advanced options," press the button marked "reset." If that doesn't work, uninstall/reinstall from SettingsApps. No idea why this happened to you, but it *should* be easy to fix. God knows Win 10 is flaky though. It's starting to feel like Linux flaky. All else fails? Go he https://winaero.com/blog/get-calcula...in-windows-10/ Get the Windows 7 calculator and install it. It doesn't scale well though. -- Zag No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.' ~Dan(i) Bunten |

The MS calc is there only for the people who want to punish themselves. What is all this nonsense? There are perfectly good sims available for many decent calculators that run on Win 10 eg: https://thomasokken.com/free42/ https://www.hpmuseum.org/simulate/simulate.htm |
