How can I reinstall Windows 10's calculator app?
This one worked for me, just combined the commands from the other answers found here. Note: you have to use the -Allusers
option with the Get-AppxPackage
command since it is not installed anymore under your current user account:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *windowscalculator* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Here is the MS Store link to the Windows Calculator.
Note: This will only work if you have the Windows Store app installed.
To reinstall an individual app use PowerShell and run it in admin mode. Screenshots:
Next get the full name of all apps, e.g. Windows Calculator paste this snippet in PowerShell and hit enter:
get-appxpackage -allusers | Select Name, PackageFullName
For single full name of the desired app name, e.g. Windows Calculator paste this snippet in PowerShell and hit enter:
Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator*
Now copy the full name that looks like this:
Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1601.49020.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Finally the we are going to install that app again with this snippet:
Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_10.1603.12020.0_
x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
Re-installed app is available without restart of the PC!
N.b: To remove individual apps use this code:
Get-AppxPackage *alarms* | Remove-AppxPackage
