Help! Items on today screen missing

[steph280]

Knowing better not to mess with something that's working, I went into memaid and did some cleaning to remove those programs that didn't uninstall correctly. Now I am missing half of the stuff on my Today screen such as messenger, screen lock, pocket weather, etc. If I go into the Settings/Todays/Item, the items that used to be there are mostly gone. But for some reason they still show up in memaid as valid item on today screen.

Anybody know how I can restore these missing items?

Thanks much...

Upon further examination, it appears all the plugins on today screen are still within the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\

Each entry does show ACTIVE=1. It's as if Today screen is not picking up these plugins.

HELP!!!

I have heard that MEMAID has done this before - possibly removed important notification.
If I was you would reinstall missing today items and all should be well ;)

Except there are a few items that's part of the system, specifically device lock. Any idea how I can reinstall those?

Thanks again.

Oops sorry no idea, if the reg entries are there they should appear. Have you tried uninstalling memaid and any other today screen plugin you have recently installed = otherwise looks like hard reset time!

[prestonmcafee]

is the logical thing to reinstall these items, then restore. That might get everything back, but you might instead think this is an opportunity to do a hard reset and build a clean system up from scratch.

I was saving the hard reset as the last resort. Last time it literally took me 4 hours to install everything back. :(

But it looks like I'll end up doing that, unless if anybody else has some good suggestions...
