  • Win7 gadgets (sidebar) slow and intensive CPU lately, for no apparent reason

    In recent days, all my Win7 Gadgets react very slowly; The Process Explorer and Task Manager indicate that SIDEBAR. EXE is to eat about 10% of the 8 Virtual cores (4 physical) of my CPU i7, one of the nuclei between 0 and 100% just for this process. Among the consequences: fast battery drain and the unnecessary fan noise.

    So far I have tested the following workaround solutions, without success:

    • Out all the gadgets / reload one by one
    • kill the process from the sidebar / restart the Panel gadgets
    • Restart the PC
    • run with Avira AV disabled
    • run without internet access
    • run without connected devices (wireless, USB, etc...)
    • remove the settings.ini and cache in %localappdata%\microsoft\Windows Sidebar (suggested in other threads on such responses)

    I have a few third-party gadgets, each of them has worked perfectly so far (and none have been updated these last time).

    I can't think of any change in my system lately (software, drivers, etc.), which could have caused this.

    Murder sidebar.exe immediately pushes the CPU counters to zero. As soon as I open the Panel of gadgets or load any of the built-in gadgets one or a third party, the problem starts.

    Win7/64 SP1 and Avira Antivirus are completely up to date.

    BIOS and drivers are up-to-date (precision M4700)

    Thanks for any advice.

  • Favorites do not appear in the sidebar save/open dialogs (El Capitan)

    The question

    The problem is that the sidebar first SAVE / OPEN Windows is missing from the list of favorites. Some people also report they are absent in the side bar of the Finder itself, but in my case, it was not the question.

    In some cases reboot temporarily seems to "solve" the problem, only to have it come back a little later.

    Some people have suggested to delete the Finder preferences plist file (~ / Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist). But people say it does not, correct or is it fixed only temporarily. Delete this file also kills all the Favorites from the Finder, which means he must recreate the list.

    I can hardly believe that a serious UI bug has occurred since the 10.11.0, which was released more than a year ago.

    Does anyone have a legitimate solution to this issue?


    In addition to background information

    This question seems to be fairly widely reported. There are many cases reported here on the Apple Forums, although I saw no meaningful discussion on the problem and permanent solutions.

    It is also fairly widely reported on other sites (blogs, etc.). Various solutions are available, but many people say these don't fix, or only very temporarily fix.

    As far as I know, this question was held for people in all versions of El Capitan, of 10.11.0 thanks 10.11.6 (the most common, from this announcement).

    A small sample of the cases reported here on the Apple Forums:

    Links in the finder sidebar missing dialogue

    Missing favorite folders during recording as in all software

    Re: Lack of Favorites or shortcuts in the sidebar

    Some references to this topic on other sites:

    http://Apple.StackExchange.com/questions/208205/file-open-dialog-is-missing-side bar-objects

    This issue is fairly widely reported online. I searched through the Rapporteur of bugs and no results were returned, which seems hard to believe.

    Missing Finder instance handles dialogues open/save favorites.

    Often the sidebar is hidden. It can be restore to see, and then the Favorites are missing. People have reported this problem on line since 10.11.0

    Sometimes in the Finder itself in this case also.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Use registration opening of in any application.

    Sidebar missing all the favourites. Only the items that have been seen are DEVICES.

    Expected results:

    It should be a list of FAVORITES in the sidebar of all Windows Open/Save.

    Actual results:

    Sidebar is missing from the list of FAVORITES.

    Version:

    10.11.6 (the problem is reported to occur in all versions of El Capitan)

  • Sidebar background color

    When I turned on my computer today gadgets sidebar (clock, calendar, weather, news, my security icons) appeared (right), but instead of being at the top of the desktop image, the bottom under the gadgets are like a transparent smoke gray.
