  1. Cannot get countdown widget in widgetboard active


    I cannot add the countdown widget of my widgetbord on the left side task bar/When I open the widgetboard the countdown widget is there, but if I add an event nothing happens.Also the next time I open the widget board this event is gone.I did remove the countdown widget and add it again upper left corner plus sign.It is there to add as it should be, but is I choose "" + add widget" under it, the same terminal comes, which does not store and does not activate events that I put in.Can somebody tell me where the trigger is to repair the countdown widget

    :)

    !! Date countdown desktop widgets like android ?? !!

    HI,

    Love this site as my knowledge with computers is basically nil, though I am learning!

    I have looked through the store for countdown date apps that are pinned to the desktop.

    After downloading a few now (days / event timer etc) I'm starting to think that Win 10 doesn't work like a chromebook or an android phone. Am I right in thinking that there are no such things as widgets in Win 10?

    If that is so then I guess I will have to use a sticky note with the date on it. Whilst this would work I don't think it's as cool as an actual countdown clock that automatically changes as the days pass. I used one of these on my C302CA but had to switch for uni reasons.

    Is there such as a thing as widgets, specifically a countdown widget?

    If not, has anyone figure a way around it, coded it somehow?

    Thanks for your time in advance, ste *Confused

    You can go download the 8GadgetPack and then search for a Countdown Clock. This is a 100% legit software with no ads, spyware, viruses, etc. . I'm using it as we speak on both of my computers.

    Wow, I'm not gonna go with the first because the countdown to date is exactly what I'm after. A visual reminder of my uni essay and exam dates every time i open my laptop. Keeps me on top of things. Thanks so much, it's a pretty widget too, all the best bud.
