    Windows 7 Gadgets keep disappearing


    My desktop gadgets disappeared on startup a few weeks ago, I was able to get them back by turning off the gadgets 'Windows features' and then back on again.

    But every few days they disappear and I have to go through the 'Windows features' process again.

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Run the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:

    Hi, thanks for the reply.

    To be honest though, this sounds a bit risky!

    It's perfectly safe. It will reset any customizations you've made to themes, if any. Easily restored. A Guy
