Title: Upgraded to windows 10, can`t find my avast gadget
Post by: cschlieper on August 16, 2015, 01:54:09 PM

I`ve upgraded to windows 10 and now I can`t find or install my avast gadget. I know it is no real problem, but I`d be grateful for any ideas.
Thank you!

Microsoft dropped the gadgets a while ago.

I know, I think it is a pity.

I believe way back with windows 7 that MS stopped supporting gadgets. Part of the reasoning behind its decision was security related.

So I guess their new OS isn't going to support something already dropped.
