Good morning, I got it!
I did do your safe mode and had the same problem.
Then I tried launching the app from Finder (as you do)
I was able to drag and drop onto my Dock and the option to keep it there.
Thank you so much for your help.

Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. Sometimes that will fix anomalies.
How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
You can also try running this command in the Terminal…
killall Dock
Thank you for replying so quickly. It does not open in the dock.
When I go to Launchpad and select calculator- it opens on my screen, not the dock.
It behaves like a window, not an app for the dock area.
When I go up to the options at the top, there's no option to Move to the dock.
Please post a screen shot of your screen with the Calculator open. Press command shift 3 to take a shot of the full screen. Add it to your next reply by using the "Image Insertion" icon at the bottom of the Reply window.
You're welcome. I don't normally use Launchpad however, when I open the Calculator from Launchpad the Calculator's icon does in fact appear in the Dock as is shown here…
Hi, Here you are
1) screenshot: on my screen and not in the dock
2) when I try to drag it to the dock - it shows up behind my dock
I have not tried safe mode yet.
The Calculator icon is in your Dock. I circled it for you. You need to control-click on the icon as I explained before. What you don't do is try to drag apps into the Dock.
No idea why not but, if you open the Calculator its icon will be in the Dock where you can control-click on the icon and choose "Keep in Dock" from "Options".
It doesn't for me.
Thank you, I'll try safe mode.
what is this?: Terminal…killall Dock
ok, thank you. I will stand by
Safe mode: I read the instructions, but am a bit nervous about doing this "start up disk"
What is this doing?
It's 11 pm here so I must retire.
I look forward to reading your info. in the morning.
just tried having my cursor on the icon. I used control and the return button (is that what you mean by 'click?")
nothing happens.
