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.
ווי צו געבן קאַלקולאַטאָר גראַפינג מאָדע אין 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 נאָרמאַל מאָדע which will let you perform basic arithmetic calculations.
- ווייַטער איז די וויסנשאפטלעכע מאָדע which allows advanced calculations with the use of trigonometric functions and exponents.
- It is followed by a פּראָגראַמיסט מאָדע for performing programming-related calculations.
- And finally, the new Graphing mode to plot equations on a graph.
Why Enable Graphing Mode in Calculator?
- עס העלפּס איר צו 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 פֿענצטער קסנומקס 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.
Step I: Determine Your Windows 10 Edition
קסנומקס. עפענען סעטטינגס דורך היטטינג Windows + I שליסלען together, and select סיסטעם, ווי געוויזן.
2. דריקט וועגן אין די לינקס שויב.
3. Check the Windows ספּעסאַפאַקיישאַנז אָפּטיילונג.
Step II: Enable or Disable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10
1. Hit Windows + R שליסלען סיימאַלטייניאַסלי צו עפענען לויפן דיאַלאָג קעסטל.
2. טיפּ גפּעדיט.מסק און גיט די OK button to launch לאקאלע גרופע פּאָליטיק עדיטאָר.
3. גאַט צו User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Calculator in the left pane by clicking on the פייַל ייקאַן at the side of each folder.
קסנומקס. דריקט אויף Allow Graphing Calculator entry in the right pane. Then, select the policy setting אָפּציע געוויזן כיילייטיד.
קסנומקס. גיט די ענאַבלעד ראַדיאָ קנעפּל און גיט צולייגן צו ראַטעווען די ענדערונגען.
נאטיץ: If you haven’t previously altered the entry, it will be in ניט קאָנפיגורעד state, by default.
6. Close down all the programs and perform a סיסטעם ריסטאַרט.
7. דיין קאַלקולאַטאָר app will show גראַפינג option once your PC boots back on.
נאטיץ: To disable graphing calculator on Windows 10 computer, select Disabled אָפּציע אין שריט קסנומקס.

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:
קסנומקס. דריקט אויף אָנהייב, טיפּ רעגעדיט, און גיט אויף עפענען צו קאַטער רעגיסטרי עדיטאָר.
2. Paste the following location וועג in the address bar and hit the אַרייַן key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesCalculator
נאטיץ: It is quite possible you did not find the Calculator folder. You will therefore need to create one manually. Right-click on פּאַלאַסיז און גיט נייַ נאכגעגאנגען דורך שליסל. Name the key as קאַלקולאַטאָר.
נאטיץ: 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. רעכט גיט אויף די blank space. גיט נייַ > דוואָרד (קסנומקס-ביסל) ווערט. נאָמען די ווערט as AllowGraphingCalculator.
4. איצט, רעכט גיט אויף AllowGraphingCalculator און גיט מאָדיפיצירן.
5. טיפּ 1 ונטער ווערט דאַטן: to enable the feature. Click on OK צו ראַטעווען.
6. אַרויסגאַנג די רעגיסטרי עדיטאָר און ריסטאַרט דיין פּיסי.
נאטיץ: If you wish to disable Graphing mode in the future, change the ווערט דאַטע צו 0 in שריט קסנומקס.
How to Use Calculator Graphing Mode
Step I: Access Graphing Mode
קסנומקס. עפֿן די קאַלקולאַטאָר אַפּלאַקיישאַן.
2. דריקט אויף די hamburger (three horizontal lines) icon present at the top-left corner.
3. In the ensuing menu, click on גראַפינג, ווי געוויזן.
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. אַרייַן יקווייזשאַנז (למשל x +1, x-2) on the top right fields for f1 & f2 fields, ווי געשילדערט.
2. Simply, hit אַרייַן on your keyboard after typing out the equation to plot it.
3. Hover the mouse pointer over the plotted line צו באַקומען די 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 ווייַטער צו אים.

Step IV: Change the Style of the Plotted line
1. דריקט אויף די paint palette icon צו עפענען Line Options.
2A. This will let you change the style of the plotted line as:
2B. Select the קאָליר 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.
