    Need a way to replace two gadgets


    Hi folks, in moving from Win7 Pro to Win 10 Pro I will have to give up two beloved gadgets, All CPU Meter and Slideshow.exe. The CPU meter was a standard W7 gadget, so some of you may have seen it. I found the Slideshow.exe gadget on the web to replace the one I had used in Vista. The Vista slideshow came with a set of non-replaceable images. The one I found uses JPG images that I place in a file for it, and rotates through them in a space of about an inch and a half wide by an inch tall. I know that the size will depend on the monitor size and resolution, but this will give you an idea that the images are small.

    I would dearly love to replace these gadgets with mini-programs that do the same thing, and would appreciate your advice!

    A post in How-To Geek suggested seeing if these have been replicated in Rainmeter, and I have also posted my query there. I did check there soon after W10 came out, and no one had an answer at that time.

    :)

    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.

    Gadgets are not a part of Windows 10. If they are installed, its not because of Windows 10.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: appwiz.cpl

    Hit Enter

    Scroll though the list and look for any entries for Gadgets, select it the uninstall it.

    You can then attempt installing the Gadget add on from WinAero.
