Why does Windows Calculator need network access??

Then it should ask for network access the first time and remember what you said.

I didn't even know it had a currency converter.

These days I just do "200 GBP in hungarian forint" and google does it for me.

Though in fairness I'm a linux user who does some software dev on windows (in a VM) and that's about it.

Frankly, I didn't know it had one either. I took a guess at currency conversion being one calculation where the results would need to be looked up daily, googled and found the above article.

Ha, that's really cool. I rather like the Windows 10 Calculator.

The programmer mode on the windows calculator is extremely useful!
