Win 7 weather gadget 7 day fail
1, Open up the file: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Services\Cache\config.xml in notepad.
2, DO NOT make any changes, but just hit Save.
3, Wait 30 seconds and restart the gadgets.
I used this fix twice on each unit (total 24 times)and it does work however it only lasted for 7 days , in all my units, on both occasions. Windows troubleshooter clean up was/is also disabled. This also took place on 12 different style units. The units included desktops, laptops, Win7 Ultimate, Pro, Home, 64 bit, 32 bit, With Anti virus installed and without. Some units were used during that period and some were in the sleep mode.
All units are current with Windows update and drivers. Three of the units were not updated with the most recent group of 19 updates this past week and they too failed; they were just now updated with no problems.
On a 4 user system, All with Admin privileges, I have found 1 users gadget working fine and the other three users weather gadget not to be working. On a two user system one worked and the other did not.....Last edited by The79dog; 19 Feb 2015 at 16:38. Reason: more details added

In the windows explorer
Go to Tools > Folder Options > Show hidden files, folders and drives
Go to Computer > Local Disk > Users > Name > AppData > Local >
Microsoft > Windows Live > Services > Cache
Right click on Config file and go to Edit
Look that you have these settings
services refresh="45"
service name="weather"
operation interval="15"
Roll down to these settings pass the languages
Here you need to adjust to these settinngs
service
service name="stocks"
operation interval="10"

Save it
Now you can open it and it functions
you can go down to 30 and 10 in the first two settings
