    Hello,

    The "Auto arrange icons" function is disabled at every reboot or "Explorer" restart.
    I use "CCleaner" regularly but I don't see an option that might cause that issue.

  2. Desktop icons auto arranging, auto arrange is OFF.

    Original title: Windows 10 - Icons moving

    About every hour, the file icons on my desktop would move as if auto arranged. Icons will also move from screen 2 to screen 1. My quicklaunch icons will suddenly show the text for the icon (text had been turned off). The auto arrange function is not turned
    on.

    Disable auto-arrange

    Hello, thanks to contact the Microsoft Community. My name is Israel Torres, I am an independent advisory

    Microsoft intentionally removed the option to disable Auto Arrange, but it's still possible with a workaround.

    If you want to disable auto arrange inside a folder you need to do the following:

    1. Open Registry Editor by pressing Windows Key + R and typing regedit in the input field.

    2. Navigate to the following key on the left pane:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShell

    3. Now delete the Bags subkey.How to Disable Auto Arrange in Folders in Windows 10

    4. Navigate to this key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShell

    5. Delete the Bags subkey here again.

    6. Navigate to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellNoRoam

    7. Delete the Bags subkey here as well. After that close Registry Editor.

    8. Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Locate Windows Explorer from the list of processes, and click the

    9. Restart button.

    10. Download disable-auto-arrange.zip. (Downloads)

    Extract the files from the archive you just downloaded.

    11. Run disableautoarrange.reg to add it to your registry.

    12. Open This PC and close it.

    Auto arrange should be disabled now and you can freely arrange files inside folders. We have to mention that this method works only for the large icons, medium icons, small icons and extra large icons icon views.
