Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try these steps, unpin calculator from taskbar. Launch Calculator from your Start panel. Once it open. Right click on calculator's taskbar button and select "Pin to taskbar". Close calculator. If you now click on the pinned calculator button on taskbar, does it open correctly?

Thank you,

No, sorry. It still launches file explorer. I think I followed all the steps correctly.

We can not reproduce this issue and we don't see this specific issue reported by others. Is this still happening in your system? Make a video showing us how you pin the Calculator to your taskbar and open calculator via taskbar and show us it open Explorer. Post the video to any sharing site, set it public and post its link here. This will help us understand your issue better.

Thank you,
