    I suddenly have a grid on my desktop. It's 9 rectangles and says it's an alignment grid. How do I get rid of this? I have no idea what brought it up.

    Alignment grid

    Minimize all open windows and apps. You can use Win + D or Win + M shortcut keys. ...

    Right click the empty space on your Desktop and select View - Align icons to grid. This command will toggle the Align icons to grid feature.
