Gadgets were obsoleted back in the Windows 7 days, ostensibly for security reasons (though I’ve never run into, nor heard of, actual Gadget-related exploits).
What made it an “Oh no!” moment was that I feared it meant the demise of Gadgets from Dev Channel desktops once and for all. The Restore Gadgets script shows up in Recycle Bin in the lead-in graphic because it’s smart enough to delete itself once it runs. For the first time ever, I experienced an 8GadgetPack repair fail yesterday. It shows up as Restore Gadgets on the desktop, and must be double-clicked to run. Because the installer always kills fave tool 8GadgetPack, developer Helmut Buhler has created a run-once repair tool that restores gadgets to working order afterward. After upgrading my Lenovo X12 tablet to Dev Channel Build 25115, I went through the usual post-upgrade drill.
