    I posted this in another thread.

    KB3097877 Cause sidebar/gadgets to stop working. (actually they never start)

    and you`ll get a lovely pop up :)

    Just uninstall it.

    Installed KB3097877 last night. No problems with gadgets.

    Don't know why...

    KB3097877 played hell with Realtek Audio on both computers. (Asus Motherboards)
    Remove the KB and then Hide it and the audio is back the way it should be.
