This is from June and looks like it is fixed, I can do 10^x functions on my work PC in the Windows calculator.

Edit: see comment below

Not fixed for me - I just tried 10^0.43407 and yup, "Invalid Input". And I know I'm up to date because I just came back to find my PC in the middle of updating the other day.

For me one of my updates had failed, so I was still getting security patches but not major version upgrades. Had to figure out the problem (media feature pack) and then update.

Not fixed for me, fully patched 1803.

> 1803

This made me check and apparently IT here (large international networking hardware company) hasn't patched Windows since April. I always assumed everything auto updated, evidently our policy is the exact opposite.

What is your full version number? If you open the command prompt it should say something like Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.???]. You could also run 'ver'.

Yeah, I guess I can tell you that. I'm on 10.0.17134.191

Yeah same as mine, that should be fully patched indeed. Except I can't reproduce the problem on mine, so this is really bizarre: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17675413

You should probably be looking at the calculator version (menu button -> About. mine is 10.1806.1821.0, and has this problem) rather than the OS version. Apps can be updated independently of the OS.

Whoa, very interesting, great call! I see 10.1712.10601.0 as the version for mine. Why would it not have updated along with the rest of Windows? EDIT: Oh, because I've disabled automatic app updates. :-)

Mine fails.

[Version 10.0.17134.167]

Some work, did you try greater than 5 digits like the post said?
