Weather gadget not working - could not connect to the service

original title: weather gadget does not!

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit and my weather gadget does not work, it displays a message "unable to connect to the service.

I also tried turning off the firewall and antivirus , but it still doesn't work for me.

Update:
Microsoft has DISABLED the weather gadgets and currency via a recent update of security, because of worries about the vulnerability associated with these gadgets running on your computer. You can read more here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2719662 . Adjust the settings of your computer and all these other 'suggestions' people are, will NOT work. The function has been REMOVED from the operating system. It has also been removed from Windows 8 operating system. There are "theorists" who agrees that there is a security problem in the gadgets or Microsoft just doesn't support gadgets (usually from third party software) and has therefore disabled them in Windows 7 and eliminated in Windows 8.
Thanks to DaveNYC for the Info. Pass the word, because a lot of people is facing this problem just like you.

    Original title: weather gadget problem

    I am running Windows 7 and I'm trying to change the weather gadget in my city.  I typed in my zip code, it recognizes it, but says "unable to connect to the service.

  • Could not connect to the service user profile Service.

    I have a little disconcerting problem.  Every day or two, I can not connect to Windows correctly.  When I start, select my account (which is also the unique administrator account) and enter my password, it spends an abnormally long time in the 'Starting Windows' screen, then I get the following message pop up in the notification area:

    "Unable to connect to a windows service.
    Windows could not connect to the service user profile Service.
    This problem prevents limited users to logon to the system.
    As an administrator, you can review... »

    Shortly after this message, I get a windows error message saying:

    "Location is not available.
    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is not accessible.
    Access is denied. »

    This seems just a desktop computer black with only the Recycle bin icon on it, and the old Windows Start button in the taskbar.

    While trying to understand what is happening, I looked into the application of 'Problem reports and solution' in the control panel and found that every time this happens, I also have a corresponding event of "Stopped working" "Routing and remote access.

    I then restart using F8 at startup and choose the one that says something to the effect of "using the last good configuration known."

    I'm not sure what that means at all, but I hope that one of you people can help.

    Thank you!

    Hello any Leafs fan,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Looks like you're running only because of using a system restore to get back when your system is running. Now, you want to know what caused it.

    Usually, when the above error occurs, it is due to a corrupt user profile.
    The best way to fix this is to remove the user profile.

    • Go to the Start button
    • Right click on computer
    • Go to the properties
    • Go to Advanced System Properties on the left pane
    • Select the Advanced tab
    • Go to the user profile Section and click on the settings button
    • Find the profile for the that you want to remove and click Remove.  (It's the best way to remove the local profile in Windows Vista).
    • Connection again and you will get a new profile.
    • To get your Favorites return, go to the old profile in C:\users and copy the data manually.

    The only way to identify what caused the error with the user profile is to try to reproduce it.

    If you have not installed the update of Windows, then you can go to Windows updates and see what are the updates must be installed and manually download them and install them one at a time. Between the installation of the system, make sure you have a restore point that you can go back to if necessary. Once an update is installed, then close and open a session back (or reboot if required by the software update) and see if you get the error user profile. If the error occurs, then go to Services and see if the user profile service is running and set to automatic.

    If you are not able to do anything when the problem occurs, then try to start in safe mode using the F8 key and see if the problem occurs in safe mode.

    You can also look in the event viewer to see if there is no dealing with event profile user or Windows Update errors.
    To get to the event viewer, you can type in eventvwr.msc in the box start the search. This will bring up the event viewer and you can view the summary logs and see what kind of errors you encounter.

    Please post with your results and if you need further assistance.

  • Windows could not connect to the user profile Service

    I couldn't use my own laptop for six months. Whenever I try to connect to my profile (profile/ONLY the Administrator profile), it gives me this:

    "Unable to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the service user profile service. This problem prevents standard users to log on to the system. As an administrator, you can view the system event log to see why the service did not respond. »

    The error itself didn't come for two days now, but the problems still present themselves:

    -My personal profile seems gone.

    -Impossible to connect to the internet (my connection is fine, I use another laptop on the network even in the same House now)

    -Return to default settings

    -Slower than usual start.

    I tried the solutions that have been everywhere online and none of them worked for me. Help, please? I'd like to have my laptop back...

    Additional info: Im using a laptop Windows 7 Dell Inspiron (1564) and there is no point of restoration since before the error. I tried the Regedit fix and it didn't work and it doesn't let me delete the profile owner / administrator as to make a new one.

    To correct this corruption of user profiles, consult a guide to recovery of lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem

    Method 1: Try to start your system in safe mode with network and check if the same problem occurs.

    Method 2: If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  • iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone", because an invalid response was received from the device.

    So I am a new iphone 7. I had a 6 before that. Everything was fine until the day where I got the 7, I decided to try a manual on itunes for my 6 backup so that I could put this on the new phone. I use now icloud backup but before that he always did on my computer. Its itunes version 12.2.2.25 as it is the most recent, that I can run with 10.7.5 which is the newest my mac pro can work without hacking it. Again, never had a problem before it save and use it to transfer music. Anyway, I received the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone"iPhone"because an invalid response was received from the device." I tried 3 different usb cords. I tried both ports to the front of the computer and all 3 in the back. Abandoned and did a backup icloud. Installed on the new phone. Everything transferred except my music library which is real download of my CD via itunes. If something was wrong on the iphone 6, surely the new phone that starts with a clean slate will be very well... wrong.  Same message. Leaves through ports, cables, etc. Is it just a simple matter of ios 10 now works with my version of itunes?

    A new phone will be iOS10.  iOS10 requires iTunes 12.5.1 find which demands in turn 10.9.5 OSX or newer.  Software update checks only the updates to the current version of the system that you are running but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. OSX 10.9 and 10.10 are no longer available. You can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM (4 GB is a minimum realistic and many recommend 8 GB).  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.
