Calculator keyboard shortcuts don't work in Windows 10!

To my dismay, calculator keyboard shortcut doesn't work in windows 10! It did with Windows 8.1. The Snipping Tool keyboard shortcut works in Windows 10. When I do a Search on calculator, it lists it under Programs but when I click on Open folder location,
it opens the Desktop and the calculator is NOT on the Desktop. What's going on?
