  • the desktop gadgets only sometimes appear when booting.

    For these past few weeks Google desktop gadgets clock has not sometimes appear at boot. Now all the gadgets of the Office refuses to even appear when I click the icon in the control panel. What has gone wrong?

    If they disappear again, try to uncheck this option and then repeat for re-check it.

    Not sure why it's just for you, mine did sometimes not appear from time to time in the past, but very well worked for many months now.

    If they fail again, you can try a restore point dates back to a time where they worked very well. That is, if they don't have say 2 weeks ago and then restore to 3 weeks if you can. Not sure, but it can help.
