Today, even the most basic Windows applications such as Alarm, Clock, and Calculator are designed to let you perform a number of varying tasks in addition to the obvious chores. In the Calculator app, a new mode was made available to all users in the May 2020 build of Windows 10. As the name implies, it can be used to plot equations on a graph and analyze functions. This graphing mode is quite helpful if you are a student or an employee making presentations, especially if your career is in mechanical and architectural streams. Although, for most users, the graphing mode is greyed out or disabled by default. It thus needs to be enabled manually. Today, we will teach you how to enable or disable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10.
How to Enable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10
The Calculator application itself has four different modes built into it along with a bunch of converters.
- The first one is called the Standardkpụrụ ọkọlọtọ which will let you perform basic arithmetic calculations.
- Ọzọ bụ Usoro sayensị which allows advanced calculations with the use of trigonometric functions and exponents.
- It is followed by a Ụdị mmemme for performing programming-related calculations.
- And finally, the new Graphing mode to plot equations on a graph.
Why Enable Graphing Mode in Calculator?
- Ọ na-enyere gị aka visualize the concept of Algebraic equations like functions, polynomials, quadratics.
- It allows you to work on parametric & polar graphing which is hard to draw on paper.
- In Trigonometry functions, it helps you to figure out amplitude, period, and phase shift.
- In programming, if your projects are based on data sets and spreadsheets, you can rely on this for accurate data.
Enabling graphing mode in the calculator application is actually a very easy task and involves editing either Group Policy Editor or Windows Registry. Both of these applications store important settings pertaining to Windows OS and its applications, so be extremely careful when following the steps to avoid prompting any errors or damaging your system altogether. In this article, we have detailed two different ways to enable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10 and also provided a basic walkthrough of the model at the end.
Method 1: Through Local Group Policy Editor
This method is applicable if you are using Professional and Enterprise editions of Windows 10. Though, if you have a Home edition then you will not be allowed to access the Group Policy Editor. So, try the other method.

2. Pịa Banyere na aka ekpe.
3. Lelee Nkọwapụta Windows ngalaba.
Step II: Enable or Disable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10
1. Kwuo Igodo Windows + R n'out oge imeghe Run igbe.
2. Ụdị gpedit.msc wee pịa OK button to launch Onye isi ochichi obodo.
3. Aga na User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Calculator in the left pane by clicking on the akara ngosi akara ngosi at the side of each folder.
4. Pịa na Allow Graphing Calculator entry in the right pane. Then, select the policy setting nhọrọ egosiri ka ọ pụta ìhè.
5. Pịa Kwadoro bọtịnụ redio ma pịa Tee ịchekwaa mgbanwe ndị a.
Cheta na: If you haven’t previously altered the entry, it will be in Adịghị edozi state, by default.
6. Close down all the programs and perform a Malitegharịa ekwentị.
7. Nke gi Calculator app will show Na-ese foto option once your PC boots back on.
Cheta na: To disable graphing calculator on Windows 10 computer, select nwere nkwarụ nhọrọ na nzọụkwụ 5.

Method 2: Through Registry Editor
If for some reason you weren’t able to enable the graphing mode from the group policy editor, editing the Windows registry will also do the trick. Follow the given steps to enable or disable Calculator graphing mode on Windows 10 PCs:
1. Pịa na Malite, ụdị regedit, na pịa Open malite Editor Editor.
2. Paste the following location ụzọ in the address bar and hit the Tinye isi.

Cheta na: It is quite possible you did not find the Calculator folder. You will therefore need to create one manually. Right-click on atumatu na pịa New ndị sotere Key. Name the key as Calculator.
Cheta na: If the Calculator key was already present on your PC, chances are the AllowGraphingCalculator value also exists. Otherwise, you will again need to manually create the value.
3. Pịa aka nri na blank space. Pịa Ọhụrụ > DWORD (32-bit) Bara uru. Aha aha uru as AllowGraphingCalculator.
4. Ugbu a, pịa aka nri AllowGraphingCalculator na pịa Gbanwee.
5. Ụdị 1 n'okpuru Uru data: to enable the feature. Click on OK ịchekwaa.
6. itzọ ọpụpụ Editor Editor na Malitegharịa ekwentị PC gị.
Cheta na: If you wish to disable Graphing mode in the future, change the Data bara uru na 0 in nzọụkwụ 5.
How to Use Calculator Graphing Mode
Step I: Access Graphing Mode
1. mepee Calculator ngwa.
2. Pịa na hamburger (three horizontal lines) icon present at the top-left corner.
3. In the ensuing menu, click on Na-ese foto, dị ka e gosiri.
4. Within a split second, you will be greeted with an empty graph on the left pane and a familiar-looking calculator numeric pad on the right, as shown below.

Step II: Plot Equations
1. Tinye akụkụ (dika x +1, x-2) on the top right fields for f1 & f2 fields, dị ka e gosiri.
2. Simply, hit Tinye on your keyboard after typing out the equation to plot it.
3. Hover the mouse pointer over the plotted line iji nweta ya exact coordinates of that point, as illustrated below.
Step III: Analyze Equations
Apart from plotting equations, the graphing mode can also be used to analyze equations, although not all of them. To check the functional analysis of an equation, click on the lightning icon na-esote ya.

Step IV: Change the Style of the Plotted line
1. Pịa na paint palette icon imeghe Line Options.
2A. This will let you change the style of the plotted line as:
2B. Select the Agba from the color options provided.
Step V: Use Graph Options
Once the equations are mapped, three new options become active at the top-right corner of the graph window.
1. The first option lets you trace the plotted lines using the mouse or keyboard.
2. The next one is to share the graph via mail.
3. And the last one allows you to customize the graph which allows you to:
- change the minimum and maximum values of X and Y,
- switch between different units like degrees, radians, & gradians,
- adjust the line thickness and
- modify graph theme.
