Most of the inbox apps in Windows 11 have been carried forward from Windows 10. The Calculator is one of them.
The Calculator app in Windows 11 supports Windows 11’s Mica material/theme. The Mica effect combined with the new icon makes it look different from the one found in Windows 10.
The built-in Calculator is probably the best Calculator out there for Windows. In addition to the standard mode, it also offers scientific, graphing, programmer, and date calculation modes. In addition, currency, volume, length, energy, weight and mass, temperature, area, speed, power, time, data, pressure, and angle can be converted from one unit to another unit.
The Calculator app mostly works without any issues. That said, if you are encountering problems while opening or working with it, you can consider reinstalling it.
