  1. Icons keep re-arranging whenever I connect the docking station for no reason


    I have my desktop icons where the important folders are in the right side and the other folders are on the left side. When I was connecting my laptop to the docking station nothing was changing I was getting the same icon on the monitors as I get them on my laptop when I disconnect it from the dock. However, right now for no reason the icons keep rearranging with no action taken. What can I do to prevent this? I tried doing all the things that people usually do to fix that such as deleting icocache.db files and nothing happened. My laptop keeps doing weird things with the icons without taking

    1. I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.

    3. Other devices connected to home Wi-Fi has no issue.
    4. What steps can i take to resolve the issue other than updating Wi-Fi adapter driver?

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Make sure the power light for the docking station is on

    • Make sure the monitor is getting power

    • Make sure the cable is connected properly to the monitor

    • Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station

    • Try flipping the connector for the adapter over (turns out some adapters can go in upside-down)

    • Take the Surface out of the docking station then put it back in


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Desktop Icons disappear after disconnecting from a docking station

    I'm Having an issue with desktop icons disappearing after the laptop has been disconnected from a docking station. I right click on the background and the show desktop Icon is checked. I checked to see if tablet mode was enable and it is not. This is
    happening when the computer is not connected to the docking station. I logged in with a different profile and got the icons. So i believe there is a setting saved on his profile on the computer. That is what i believe. I take an suggestions or methods and
    try them out. Please give me some ideas.
