    [HELP] Windows Desktop Gadgets is not displaying


    I'm running Windows 7 32bit. When Windows start, the gadgets isn't display.
    Even, it's not displaying "Windows Desktop Gadgets has stopped working" message.
    When I right-clicked on my desktop and select the gadgets, the gadgets isn't displaying too. I go to the Windows Task Manager and view the process, the 'sidebar.exe' is not shown. When I search on the programs and run 'View list of running Gadgets', it's displaying "Windows Desktop Gadgets has stopped working" message. I already try a lot of a methods to fix it, but it's not worked for me.
    Here is the technical details of it.

    Hello Technology,

    You might see if running a sfc /scannow command may be able to help.

    If not, then turn off the Windows Gadget Platform in Windows Features, OK it, then turn it back on to see if toggling it like may help.

    Hope this helps,

    If you have a restore point from before the problem started, you can try that first.

    If no fix, you can see if the error is stored in Reliability Monitor

    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...y-monitor.html

    If so, it may point towards the culprit (newly installed software or hardware? Webcam, keyboard?)

    If not, clearing the gadgets folder

    C:\users\(Your user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets

    and then restoring default gadgets usually fixes this.

    Sorry, you tried the Reliability Monitor and found no error? You tried System Restore? You tried clearing the folder? All three?

    I've tried the Reliability Monitor, I found only the 'gadgets stopped working' error, no solutions found by the Reliability Monitor. And the attached image is the technical details provided by the Reliability Monitor. I've tried System Restore too, but not working too. I also tried clearing the gadgets folder and restore the default gadget, and reboot it. My gadgets is still not displaying.

    Try re-registering the dll's

    https://www.sevenforums.com/gadgets/1...ml#post1046569

    These are both worth a try, neither will cause any harm if they don't fix it. Both are Microsoft fix-it fixes.

    Well, hopefully someone else will be along with more help, sorry. There is always a Repair Install option worse comes to worse. Hang in there. A Guy
