Windows 10: Annoying desktop bug!

Just updated to 20H2 yesterday after being on 1909 for months. Now I usually tolerate with minor bugs but this one is frustrating annoying.

If you guys have a second monitor like me, you would have a second desktop. Now when I have a file or shortcut, right click > Sort By > [any option], the file will be sorted within the desktop. But if you were to refresh the desktop, your file will be sorted in the first, main desktop. What? Keep in mind that folders are not affected by this bug, just only files and shortcuts.

Another bug I encountered is ghost files and folders when sorted on the desktop. If you have any files or folders on the desktop and you delete them, they would disappear as usual. But if you right click > Sort by > [any option], you would have deleted files come back on the desktop. If you tried to delete them again, you will come across a dialog box that says "Could not find this item". You couldn't delete the ghost files unless you refresh the desktop and they suddenly disappear this time. Here's video proof of this (minus the sorting on second desktop thing).

Does everyone have this problem? How the hell did Microsoft messed up the fucking desktop? It was never like this in 1909.

Desktop items open Libreoffice; windows bugged and flickering

My mother's PC had the most bizarre bug I've ever seen this morning.

PC specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit
Version: 1903 when problem occurred (1909 now)

What happened:

• all desktop items, including folders, opened in Libreoffice Writer; once open it displayed a blank document then began flickering as if it had bugged while scrolling
• opened Task Manager from the task bar, selecting the second tab opened the final tab, which began flickering like Libreoffice
• problems stopped after a restart, then occurred again after another restart; then stopped after the PC ran for a short time
• no error popups or BSODs
• she said Candycrush reported an error earlier but it didn't occur when I looked at it; she said it mentioned "something about the desktop"

Steps I've taken:

• did a quick virus scan then reboot scan with Windows Defender; no problems found
• sfc /scannow; no problems found
• installed update KB4537572 and upgraded system to 1909; updates appear to have been successful, no other updates available

At the moment the problem has disappeared, but since it reoccurred previously I'm not sure it hasn't been fixed.

I'm out of ideas. What else can I check and what other tests can I run? Based on the given information could anyone suggest what the problem might be?

 

annoying desktop pop ups

Hi Sheena,

Pop ups can be distracting for some, and depending on your reference, you can disable the desktop pop ups by following these steps:

• Click Start or the Windows logo and go to Settings (gear icon).
• Go to System and choose Notification & actions.
• Under Notifications, turn off Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows or whatever you want to turn off.
• Close the window and it will automatically save the changes.

Bugs that are annoying

I just upgraded to the fall creators update a couple days ago and i'm not happy.

Here is a list of bugs that i have that i tried to fix but can't

• Makes screens too dark(I found a fix using the color manager but it will only apply to one monitor)
• Toolbar gets stuck open in full screen apps
• Explorer in task manger no longer has a restart function so i can't fix the stuck toolbar
• I can't highlight items in the file explorer
• All apps i open now opens the administrator prompt(never done this before)
• Can't pin programs to the start menu
• Had 6 instances of cortana running(huge CPU load)

I hope that someone can tell me some fixes for these bugs or that this list gets to the developer team and gets fixed soon
