Version 11 doesn’t bring any major changes, but it does fix a critical bug that was causing crashes at startup. This little tool, on the other hand, brings them back, and, thanks to an update released today, it does it with almost no bugs and a very straightforward interface that looks very similar to what you could see in Windows 7 a few years ago.

Most of these removed elements can be brought back in Windows 8 with the help of third-party software solutions, most of which were designed specifically to make the modern operating system look and feel more familiar, especially for beginners, who were having quite a hard time working on their computers without them.ĨGadgetPack is one of the apps that are contributing to this restoration of the traditional user interface in Windows 8 by bringing back the desktop gadgets.Īs you know, desktop gadgets were introduced in Windows Vista and were still available in Windows 7, but due to security reasons the company decided to remove them in the modern OS flavor. Windows 8 brought quite a lot of new features, but also removed some very popular Windows 7 goodies, including not only the Start button and menu, but also the Aero interface and the desktop gadgets.
