How do I uninstall a gadget

Hello,

Gadgets are the components that come with Windows 7 by default and they’re removable.

To remove any unwanted gadget on Windows 7,

1. Right-click on any blank space of desktop >> select “Gadgets”.

2. Right-click on the unwanted Gadget >> select “Uninstall”.

Thus, you can uninstall Gadgets. This has been removed since Windows 8 and no longer supported for vulnerability.

Restoring gadgets are also available. To do so,

1. Go to Start menu >> Control Panel.

2. Change the view to "Category".

3. Click "Appearance & Personalization".

4. Restore desktop gadgets installed with Windows
