    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:

    Luckily, Calc.exe runs fine from early Windows versions if you like that format. I keep another apps folder for just these old app things. I also Like the old, and simpler, PHOTOED.exe. Note you may need a few dlls to go along with them.

      I was wondering if I just missed it. I stretched mine out and took a snapshot. Do you see it? Am I missing it? ln button? calculator image[^] This is really odd. It's probably a security issue, right? :laugh:

        God, who the hell is running that show. Is it hard to make dynamically resizeable buttons in UWP apps? Or is something like that against their GUI guidelines?

          Yeah, it's a mess out there in UWP, UWA, Win app dev. That's for sure.

              You could always install the Windows 7 Calculator. http://winaero.com/blog/get-calculator-from-windows-8-and-windows-7-in-windows-10/ There are a number of APP that folks hate in Windows 10, including my favorite, spider solitaire. http://winaero.com/blog/get-windows-7-games-for-windows-10/

                So the functions you can perform depend on the width of your screen? I say "that's clever!" except I'd need the antonym. And probably a few swear words.

                Reminds me of the ATI graphics driver installers. If you don't have any drivers, you're typically stuck in 640x480. In ATI's infinite wisdom stupidity, the installer is fixed size and 480 pixels tall. So you have about 4 pixels of button to click to advance the installer; or you have to hide the taskbar... Winning!

                  Click the "hamburger" menu on the top-left, and switch to Scientific mode. If necessary, resize the calculator window to make it wider. The ln button is then three from the left, second from the bottom, just above n!.

                  I wonder what kind of genius designed this UI. I need to maximize to see all the buttons, otherwise asin, acos, atan are not visible too. This is baffling. Who would have known? Do we need to read documentation in order to use calculator now?
