There will hopefully be scalable modern apps that you can pin on the desktop to replace the gadget. The gadgets are supposedly a potential security risk.

How long has it been behaving now?

That sounds very promising. I thought people had given up. I wonder how many cases this actually solves since it's probably more than srvnet for some people. Anyhow will the system integrity checker (SFC) end up swapping the 8.1 version back? Is SFC run by the system like during upgrades...
