  On the page to add widgets I try to drag a widget to the box on the upper right, and the page locks up. The widget doesn’t appear in either box. If I do anything on that page, my system slows to a crawl. Task master shows performance at 100%. Nothing happens except for the page have spasm, bumping up and down sometimes.

  Is there an easier way to add widgets?

  Thank you

  You might try clearing cache and cookies, restart browser.
  Or look on the top right where it says “screen options” and select “Enable accessibility mode”

  I have cleared everything. There isn’t a bunch of stuff slowing down my system.
  I’ll try to enable.
  thank you

  The enable accessibility works.
