Do you find that too? 2.1.2 and 2.1.3-alpha open for me on Windows 10 with that calculator installed, whether it is running or not. I do have Visual Studio installed for building Audacity.

Also I did run the modern Windows calculator just before running the old one. Does that make a difference for you? To test, press the Windows key, type "calculator" (without quotes) and choose the "Trusted Windows Store App".
