Oops, my mistake. The calculator key is working just fine. The key that is malfunctioning is the right hand control key, which has a symbol on it vaguely reminiscent of a calculator, but which I think is supposed to represent a list. Used to be, when I pressed it, some kind of list would come up, but it no longer does. However, I never actually used the list for anything, so I really don't care. Problem solved.

Due to serious corruption problems with Windows 10 (Pro 22H2 Build 19045.2728), I had to restore my system from a backup created in mid-February. Back in February, the calculator key opened the Windows calculator app. After restoring the backup, it acts like a plain old control key. Any suggestions how I can get it back to being a calculator key? I don't know why the behavior would have changed, unless the Windows updates I had to install following the restoration did it. (Bitlocker also got turned back on, much to my annoyance.) I'm comfortable working with the registration, if there's a registry key that will fix it. Thank you, Terry
