MSN Money Currency Converter not working

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

Apps like MSN Money Currency Converter uses live feeds from web. I suggest you to consider the following important points and check if it helps to identify the issue.

• Check if the Date, time and Time zone is set correct. Because certain financial real time programs uses time stamps to update its resources. Follow the steps to set the date and time:
  
  a. Type “Date and Time” in the search bar.
  
  b. Click Change date and time button.
  
  c. Click Apply and Ok to save the date and time.
  
  Note: Click on the Time Zone tab to check the Time Zone.

Currency Gadget no longer updating

My currency gadget is no longer updating, it says: "Cannot connect to service", now I have the sidebar and gadgets installed from 8GadgetPack - Gadgets for Windows 10 / 8.1 / 7 on my windows 8.1 laptop.
I have tried this: Fix Currency, Stock or Weather Gadgets Not Updating in Windows 7 and Windows Vista

But it does not work because I don't have the folder as in step 5:
5. Delete the folder named 53eab605-3b97-4da0-8e92-ea49d47af529


Did Microsoft stop completely with this service?





Does anyone know another solution to fix this?
