It still comes with gadgets. If these gadgets are so vulnerable, why would Microsoft still include them on a recent build December of Windows 7? You know, like a computer? For real work and real computing, you need a real computer — not a postcard size screen. The two are not interchangeable.

Thank you! It might be the lack of caffeine affecting my thinking but which of the 2 fixes am I suppose to download if I want to disable the sidebar completely? Microsoft has mislabeled the fix options.

Select the disable option to enable the fix. This could be a problem for users who do not check for the gadget availibility after a fix. I have my Gadgets and Sidebar disabled, but Sticky notes still works fine. It's what I call the normal version, over the gadget sticky note version I saw once and was like eww how did they manage to ruin it as a gadget. I never use the gadgets to begin with. But, I also have never heard of this alleged threat.

Oh well…onward and upward! Funny just decided to try these out — yesterday! At least I haven't gotten used to them yet!

Numbers start with AA-xxxxxxx or CS-xxxxxxx. The other thing you can do is keep the Task Monitor open on Performance to see at least some of the functions you want like CPU useage, etc. I love my gadgets. Since I run my laptop sort of close to the edge of its performance, it is very useful for me to know quickly when something is leaking.

It is disappointing that the solution is to simply turn them off, and it is also unusual that Microsoft is dropping support so quickly. Normally features hang around forever. Is it likely that after the presentation on the vulnerabilities that a patch to, you know, fix the problem will come out? I use every one of those I've added! My clock is international so I know what time it is for the people I talk to overseas.

Why couldn't Windows come up with a solution for all the moth holes they seem to have in everything…I mean besides just kill it! There is a fix for the time app available; you can select a second clock to display in the taskbar — I have mine set for 'my' CDT and a second for HK Hong Kong time. There are lots more available.

Tools like sticky notes and clocks and calendars are not things that absolutely must come from the Gods. These are easy things to create yourself with a minor amount of computing knowledge.

I use the Outlook Appointments mod. I will miss it greatly. It lists all of my appts in an agenda format so I don't have to actually open my calendar to see what my next 5 apps are. That's the only gadget I use and I find it very useful.

Too bad I'll have to turn it off…. I have my Gadgets disabled, never used them. You might have to turn off Aero to do this first. Aero is such a waste of resources, I effectively disabled it in my settings and use the Windows Classic Theme. You need that setting, and to turn off Aero features by disabling unchecking cetain settings in your graphics. That will disable Aero and Gadgets completely, as Gadgets use the Aero interface. I did not like them to begin with.

Won't miss a darn thing. When we were stuck with Windows 7 bought a new laptop a year or so ago I turned off the sidebar when setting the machine up, I'm mostly an "old school" purist when it comes to computers. Enabling the workaround will disable Windows Sidebar and Gadgets.

Welcome to Microsoft Support

In other words you want the first Fixit article with the number However, on the 2x Windows 7 64 bit SP1 PCs that I have enabled this workaround on, it simply closes the gadgets that were in use and they can easily be displayed again I rebooted after applying the workaround. I too, am a little old fashioned and want my large 27 inch screen to be used for my applications and not for doubling up on items, e.

An earlier post said that the workarounds were mislabled, yet the preceding post does say to enable the workaround to disable the sidebar and gadgets. My question is this.

After enabling the workaround and restarting my computer, gadgets still showed up on the desktop. I would have expected them to be gone. Have I used the correct "fix it"? Darn it! I really liked the gadgets that I used! Keeping track of the GPU temp, the temperature and a couple of others. I hope they get this fixed. I want to use them again. I will have to look for third party gadgets and hope they don't have malware installed with them.

After that they just used up valuable desktop real estate. I like a clean desktop and the gadgets just seemed to clutter it up. Click Run in the File Download dialog box, and then follow the steps in the Fix it wizard. Sorry for the confusion.

I have used many Microsoft Fix It Security Workarounds in the past, enabling the workaround would always disabled the functionality in question as intended. However, as was previously pointed out, it appears they were mislabelled. I have confirmed that the workarounds were mis-labelled, using the disable workaround worked as intended, gadgets no longer work.

Cathy Liebgold: Using the security workaround will disable all gadgets, including 3rd party gadgets. Windows 8 apps will most likely offer the same functionality as gadgets but as a Metro UI app, so all is not lost. Also, hoping that something does not contain malware is not enough. A good additional check is to examine the Properties of the file right click it and choose Properties , then look for a Digital Signature tab in this Properties window not all files will have a digital signature. I will try to contact Microsoft via their website to mention this error in their documentation.

I hope this helps. From the orignial post it says that they might be able to develop new gadgets that contain malware or vunerabilitys, I cant see any issue with keeping the gadgets that you have had installed for years. Gadgets are just mini web pages and any webpage can contain malware, not really a revalation. I only use the windows weather gadget and the CPU temp one anyway and I wouldnt really miss them as I have apps covering them almost all the time anyway but they are still staying there until I see a real reason to remove them. Also to the people not using aero and calling it a resource hog, it does use more resources but I am at least twice as efficent using aero peek and the other win 7 taskbar enhancements and unless you have a computer from then you should be able to run win 7 with aero.

The loss of the sidebar is of little concern to me as I only currently use the clock, but a few years ago I downloaded some gadgets that are only in the gallery not running. Will my computer be affected next time I use it?

As I am unable to get there until tomorrow. I have AVG by the way. Oh no, the calender and clock has to be disabled… how will I know the date or time?
