    auto arrange icon desktop , why ?

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to try the steps and check if it helps.

    a) Right click on Desktop.

    b) Click on View.

    c) Uncheck both "Arrange icons to grid" and "Auto arrange icons".

    d) Restart the computer and check if it helps.

    desktop icon arrangement

    Hello,

    Kindly further elaborate your concern, to assist you better.

    In the meantime, you may follow the step below to see if this would address your concern:

    • Right-click on your desktop > Click View.

    Note: If you want to manually arrange your desktop icons uncheck Auto arrange icons
    then drag your icons depending on where you want to place them on your desktop. If you want your icons to be aligned to the grid, check
    Align icons to grid.

    Let us know what happens after.
