    8 gadget pack, msn weather gadget


    Does anyone use the 8 gadget pack? Have used it for a few years as I always liked some of the handy gadgets like MSN weather, scrolling photos and cpu meter. Anyway I noticed on all our machines since yesterday the MSN weather gadget says service is unavailable. Anyone getting the same? I know I could just look at the pinned weather app in start menu but I like to glance up at the desktop and see it always there.

    :)

    Hi Mac. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    I also use 8GadgetPack but have always used the MSN version of the classic Windows 7 weather gadget that was blocked due to security concerns - that never materialized, more likely was to push Windows 8 store apps without regard to millions who used and loved
    that gadget.

    So right after installing 8Gadget pack I immediately install MSN Weather gadget which will add itself to the gadget list searchable for Weather from the search bar in the app:
    Msn Weather - Windows 7 Desktop Gadget

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    Cliff, there is no Gadgets in Windows 10. That's why I gave you series of steps to perform to try to find out where it came from, uninstall it, then install the preferred 8 Gadget Pack which works best.

    Please go back and perform the steps I gave from the top.
