Another, stupid Windows 10 qerk. I am fully updated with an activated version of Win 10 installed from fresh, NOT an upgrade.

Everything on my start works, but if I search for Calculator from All Apps it is not listed. If I search in Start Search, by typing Calc or Calculator, I get:: "@ {Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1601.49 Desktop App". If I click this, nothing happens.

If I goto Windows Store, Calculator is shown as installed.

If I try and do "Start>Run>Calc" which always worked perfectly before, I get the following.....

Start>Run>Calc shows this

WTF is going on?!

    Did you by chance "uninstall" or disable Windows Store applications? This type of behavior is normally done by hacks that attempt to "block" Windows 10 from "spying". In this state a Refreshing the installation is your only solution.

    Since the store says it is installed, try un-installing it and re-installing it again..
