Get Your Windows 7 \/ 8 Version Back"},"content":{"rendered":"
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 – mostly for the native workspaces (prior to it being native, I used Dexpot<\/a> which worked great).<\/p>\n <\/a>I found this post on the Windows 10 subreddit<\/a> which links to a\u00a0Winaero tweak to fix the issue with the\u00a0Windows 10 Calculator<\/a>\u00a0focus\u00a0. This makes the native calculator work exactly as it did in Windows 7 \/ 8.<\/p>\n My biggest gripe with Windows 10 has to be that certain default programs are now “app-ified”, mainly the calculator. My Microsoft Natural keyboard has a calculator shortcut key which I use frequently. It would automatically open the calculator program, automatically give it focus<\/strong>, and I could start typing immediately – but Windows 10 changed that.<\/p>\n I’d have to press the shortcut key twice (no idea why), and on the second press the app would display, but with no automatic focus. Then I would have to “click” the app to give it focus. The entire process was very annoying. I’m glad I found this elegant solution.<\/p>\n
