Get Win 10 Calculator WITHOUT Windows Store!
I have a legit Windows 10 Pro, but my calculator went missing and when I do click on a calc.exe in my system32 or Wow64 folder I get the error "You'll need a new app to open this calculator."
All the fixes I found just WASTED MY TIME. None of them worked at all. And I disabled Microsoft Windows Store.
So: We here at TeamOS have lots of Windows installs. I used "Everything" by VoidTools to find Y:\Windows\System32\win32calc.exe in one of these installs. I clicked it and it ran fine. BUT when I copied it any place IT DID NOT WORK. Why? It needs a subfolder called "en-US' which contains:
win32calc.exe.mui
To make it work anywhere copy the .exe and .mui file to a similar directory structure:
c:\folder-with-calc-exe-here\
c:\folder-with-calc-exe-here\en-US\
Just copy whatever version of calc in the top folder and the mui in the en-US subfolder. I renamed both files from win32calc.exe/mui to just calc.exe/mui.
The mui file MUST HAVE THE EXACT SAME NAME, but with ".mui" appended to the end.
If you want to be able to search for "calc" and have it work, copy a shortcut of the exe file to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
If you can't find a version of calc.exe and calc.exe.mui - I'm sure someone here can post their copies for you using their amazing torrent creation powers which I'm sure exceed mine.
Hope this helps someone!
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christ-mas!
