Default Currency gadget stopped updating - Win 7 Home Premium 32 IE11

Hello richard,

I installed IE 11 when it was released and, after setting display from 118%
to 100%, gadgets have worked OK. It was after a few hours use (yesterday)
that I noticed that exchange rates were not being update although the weather
was. Same today, Currency updated 1 day ago and the same problem now on desk
top machine, Win7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Rebooted router (sometimes this fixes problems accessing some websites) but
nada.

Keith,

Based on my personal experience, the problem is IE11. Because of some
compatibility issues with a couple of required websites, I originally
upgraded from IE9 to IE11 and all my gadgets stopped working. In
addition, it didn't solve my website access issues. I than downgraded
to IE10 and all is well. You may want to consider replacing IE11 with
IE12. Unfortunately, at some point when IE10 no longer is supported,
the era of the gadgets will be gone forever. I face that issue when it
happens. BTW, I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but I doubt
that it makes any difference in this case.

This happened around noon yesterday. The other gadget I use, Weather,
works fine.
Tried fixes (?) turned show gadgets off/on (R click on desk top,
View),
checked currency.xml - no auto scale... All from googling 'IE11
breaks
gadgets'without success, so trying here.
