    Have you noticed that the ln (natural log) button is removed from Windows 8 / Win 10 calculator? You can see the (original - win xp, win vista, win 7) had it. Old Windows Calculator (image)[^] Why they remove that? Oh, here's the terribly useful Windows 10 doc on the calculator. Ugh! Calculator in Windows 10[^] X| If you find the ln button in the Windows 10 calculator, please let me know. I need to calculate a natural logarithm immediately if not sooner. :laugh:

    Didn't you see it said, "Touch Friendly"? That means "Function Light". Duh! You just made me revisit the Calculator on my Windows 7 system... it's a great calculator!

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      IIRC there is a section (can't recall which) in Charles Petzold's book "Programming Windows", where he writes "No one said it would be easy".

      But Petzold was talking about programming! not using!

          The problem seems to be between the desk chair and the keyboard. I had no trouble finding it :)

                I shouldn't be at all surprised if that's really what they think responsive design means. "Oh, it means that you see more if you make the window bigger!" yup. And the best part is that these **Great** **Upgrades** are forced on everyone.

                      Not for Hex or Binary input. But at least I didn't have to switch to another mode just for calculating something with decimals

                                In scientific mode, click the UP ARROW button. All of the function buttons are replaced. x^2 becomes x^3, sin becomes arcsin, and log becomes ln.

                                          Have you noticed that the ln (natural log) button is removed from Windows 8 / Win 10 calculator? You can see the (original - win xp, win vista, win 7) had it. Old Windows Calculator (image)[^] Why they remove that? Oh, here's the terribly useful Windows 10 doc on the calculator. Ugh! Calculator in Windows 10[^] X| If you find the ln button in the Windows 10 calculator, please let me know. I need to calculate a natural logarithm immediately if not sooner. :laugh:

                                          I'm glad others found the answer for you. I was going to suggest spinning up a Windows 7 VM so you could use the old calculator :-D
