I deleted Windows Calculator app when I reinstalled Windows and then I turned automatic updates off via services, regedit and etc. But to be able to download the app I need them on (for some reason). I don't really want to reverse all the steps just for a calculator app. Can I somehow get it without the Store?

Get the APPX package from https://store.rg-adguard.net and use powershell to install.
I can't find calculator app there :(
You need to look up the URL of calculator on store and then plug that URL into the tool. Store can be searched via web.
Set the drop down to ProductID and paste 9wzdncrfhvn5 in the text box
Scroll to the bottom and find the latest file that ends with .appxpackage (eappxpackage will not work)
It will download the APPXPACKAGE file for you that you can open.
I found the file but it didn't install because of an error. However, another reddit user provided a solution. Thank you anyway!
Thank you for posting in r/Windows10. You have selected the Help post flair, which is to request assistance with the Windows 10 OS and its related systems. This is not a generic tech support subreddit, so your post may be removed if your issue is not related to Windows, even if your computer has Windows installed. You may want to also post this on r/TechSupport for more exposure.
If you have not already, be sure to include as much information about your issue that you can, including any error messages, error codes, what steps it takes to create the issue, and what you have done to troubleshoot. Also, include as much information about your computer as possible, including the specs of your hardware, and/or the full make and model of your computer. It is also important to know what your full Windows version is, you can view that by going to the Settings app -> System -> About, and then it will be listed as the OS Build, for example 19042.421

Why don't you just update your PC?
It's not that I'm not up-to-date. Microsoft store requires Auto updates to be on.
Right click start =>Run powershell as admin...then paste this command.
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.WindowsCalculator | Foreach
{Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register
“$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
You are the GOAT. Thank you! The only solution that have actually worked.

The Windows Calculator is open source, so you could probably build it from source if you wanted to

I'd be more curious in what you're trying to accomplish. The Microsoft Store leverages Windows Update, as do a couple of other services, I believe. Maybe there's a way to accomplish what you want without disabling a system service.
Disabling updates is a bad, rookie mistake.

Can't help you unfortunately. Try restarting the pc and writing the command by hand again.

You can count in binary on your fingers :D
Anyway. Perhaps it only works if you turned off updates just like me. I'm no powershell expert, sorry.
