What should I do if Windows 7/8 comes with weather gadgets that cannot be used?

Windows 7 comes with many features, but some problems often occur. My weather tool cannot be used today. Later, I found a solution for a long time, I would like to share with you the following.

Since Windows Vista, the new feature "gadgets" has been added to Windows operating systems, and Microsoft and programmers have provided a wide range of gadgets.

Windows 7 comes with nine gadgets, such as CPU dashboard, weather, clock and currency ,:

With these gadgets, you can easily view real-time information and access common tools. For example, you can use a small tool to display image slides or view continuously updated titles.

Among them, the weather forecast tool is undoubtedly very important: the next day to go out to wear clothes, with no umbrella, whether to arrange to play out on weekends, etc. all need to refer to the information provided by the weather forecast. Therefore, Xiaoyi guessed that the first tool added by many people is "Weather. However, after we add "Weather", it cannot work normally, and only "your region cannot use the service ." Such a prompt.

Cause:

Originally, article 22nd of the Meteorological Law of the People's Republic of China stipulated:

Meteorological Stations of competent meteorological authorities at all levels shall, in accordance with their duties, issue public weather forecasts and disastrous weather warnings to the public, and promptly supplement or revise the reports based on weather changes. No other organization or individual may issue public weather forecasts or disastrous weather warnings to the society.

(For details about the Meteorological Law of the People's Republic of China, refer to here .)

The "Weather" tool provided by Windows is a globally unified component. Currently, it is used by servers in the United States to obtain weather information. It is in conflict with the aforementioned provisions of China's meteorological law. Therefore, the weather information is blocked, resulting in "your region cannot use services ." This problem occurs.

Solution:

You don't have to feel sorry for the inability to use such a good feature. According to the above regulations, if the weather information is provided by the meteorological stations of competent meteorological authorities at all levels in China, there will be no problem. So we can use third-party weather gadgets provided by other programmers to enjoy the convenience brought by new features.
