Rod's computer must have had its coffee this morning, since it's more alert than mine is. Smile. When I first open the Windows 10 Calculator, mine does tell me that the display is 0, but after that, it needs a bit of nudging to stay awake. But it's quite simple. Window-Eyes has given us two ways of reading the screen, depending on how we choose to enter our calculations. First, using the numpad: If I type 5 plus 5 and press enter, the computer has not spoken any of the key presses. But if I'd wanted to confirm any of the numbers I typed as I typed them, I just have to press control-shift-s, (speak summary) and the computer yawns, rubs its eyes and says 5. After I press enter, it tells me, correctly, using control-shift-s again that the total is 10. I turn numlock on and use the numpad to enter my numbers, but if you choose to leave numlock off and use the numbers across the top of the keyboard, all you need do to get confirmation of the numbers you've typed and the result of your calculation is press control-numpad center to read the current line. I find this more cumbersome since I have to remember to cap the equals sign to get the plus, and I have to reach to the bottom of the keyboard for the slash. But as usual, Windows has given us ways and ways. Smile. HTH.

Hi Jed, I'm having no problems with it. I launched it and it said "display is 0". I pressed the number 4 and it said "display is 4". I pressed the asterisk and I heard "star". I pressed 5 and it said "display is 5". I pressed Enter and it said "display is 20".

Has anyone noticed, the calculator isn't friendly any more in win 10. I'm trying to calculate something, and it just isn't giving me any data.
