If you were using weather gadget on windows 7, then probably (to your disappointment) you discovered one day that after some security updates - it stopped working. What a loss! :(
Luckily, it turns out that fixing the problem is not so hard after all.
All you need to do is to change modification date of a config.xml file used by the gadget.
So open your notepad as administrator (right click->run as admin) and navigate to the following path:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Services\Cache
and open config.xml file located there.
*make sure that you replace [UserName] with the user name you are using on your machine.
Now to change the modification date you just tamper a little with your pc's clock and set it say to the year 2019, after that you 'modify' the config.xml (just type space character somewhere and then delete it) and save the changes.
That's it - your file modification date is 2019 way ahead in the future ... and the widget is working again!!
Don't forget to set your clock to correct time again.
