Hello Carbonterry2
Please right click on your desktop and Click on View > Show desktop gadgets (tick or untick)
Copy this following commands in a textfile, and save the file on your desktop, rename it to fix.reg, then double click it to execute the commands.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows\Sidebar]
"TurnOffSidebar"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows\Sidebar]
"TurnOffSidebar"=-
Disable the option for the Turn off desktop gadgets in the policy settings
Hope it will works for you
