This will bring back the gadgets to Windows 8 and Windows 10. Recently I have been testing it in Windows 10 and it works fine. Gadgets were originally introduced for Windows Vista, and Microsoft has prevented some of them from working, saying that they are a security risk. Fortunately 8GadgetPack comes with a wide range of built-in gadgets which should be enough to satisfy most users. Definitely recommended for people who like gadgets, and it is free.

If you miss the Windows 7 gadgets, you'll enjoy the 8GadgetPack. In Windows 8.1, I spend 99.9 percent of my time in the Windows Desktop environment (versus the Windows "Tile world"). The 8GadgetPack functions just like the gadgets that shipped with Windows 7. It ships with 56 gadgets. The 8GadgetPack can also be installed on Windows 7...this is a nifty way to add a weather gadget to Windows 7 (note: Microsoft previously blocked the Microsoft weather gadget from functioning).
