    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.

    [Windows 10] Desktop Icons move unpredictably when manually arranging them.

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why this happens on your desktop is because of an option that needs to be changed before we can arrange our desktop icons manually.

    Kindly follow the steps below for us to check:

    • Right-click on your desktop.
    • Click on View.
    • Uncheck Auto arrange icons and Align icons to grid (If needed).
    • Try rearranging your icons.

    Let us know if you have other questions.

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