I use windows 10 in vmware player as much as possible. Almost using it every 3 days. I give my feedback as much as possible and on there windows suggestion box.
Going slightly off topic but with the gadgets that vulnerability affects gadgets that connect to the internet. Using the built in windows gadgets that do not access the internet do not really pose a threat.
I also like to point this out:
If the flaw is really that serious and dangerous, why did Microsoft not push it as a security update through windows update?
Right there that seems odd to me. Don't get me wrong, the flaw does exist. But I feel like it is not as dangerous as they claimed. Through my own testing I was unable to get gadgets to do anything insanely risky, but that might be because I have uac on the highest setting. Not sure. I did not look into it that much that I would have liked. Most av products have prepared themselves for gadgets problems anyway since the flaw was announced.
So far I have not seen an infection caused by gadgets, but it is certainly possible. But I think it is way more likely you would be attacked through your web browser and not the gadgets.
