Anyone else's weather gadget seem to not be updating? Doesn't seem able

Mine did the same thing. Fixed it using the following Methodalthough
the settings file was identical in my case your mileage may vary:

So that brings me to what I did to fix it :-) So the renaming of the
cache folder idea (which did not work) seemed like an idea I could
expand upon. I tried a few different things and finally found the
right combination of steps:

A) Copy the following files and folder from a Windows 7 machine with a
working stock weather gadget to a flash drive or network file sha

1. %localappdata%\affected user\local\microsoft\windows\windows
live\services\cache\config.xml (just copy the file)

2. %localappdata%\affected user\local\microsoft\windows\windows
sidebar\cache\168522d5-1082-4df2-b2f6-9185c31f9472 (copy entire folder
which should contain one or more xml files)

3. %localappdata%\affected user\local\microsoft\windows\windows
sidebar\settings.ini (just copy the file)

B) Paste (OVERWRITING if necessary) the copied folder and files into
the same locations on the machine whose stock weather gadget is not
working.

C) Drag the weather gadget back out and this time it should be working

*** As I mentioned earlier, this issue effects both the weather and
currency gadgets. I did not, however, attempt to fix the currency
gadget. I would surmise that you would follow my same process above
but also copy a second folder besides the one listed above (this time
you would grab the one for the currency gadget) under
%localappdata%\affected user\local\microsoft\windows\windows
sidebar\cache. You would then paste the folder (overwriting if
necessary) in the same location on the effected machine
