  1. Icons Scrambled With Multiple Displays


    Can someone please help me or point me to a subreddit that is better to post this in? I have 2 monitors. One is 1440p and the other is 1080p. My issue is that when I extend the display to both monitors, about 4 icons will remain on my main display and the rest will show up on my second display scrambled. I have tried unchecking auto arrange, unchecking/checking show desktop icons, and I even tried the registry edit fix that I've seen online. Nothing will get these icons to stay on the left monitor. It seems like all of the solutions online have worked for others, but not me..
