    Can't reproduce IconSpacing for my desktop


    After some tweaking on my old PC, I had finally managed to find the perfect IconSpacing and VerticalIconSpacing settings for my desktop so I had them written down. Now I'm using those same exact values but the result is not identical, so is it possible that I missed other settings?

    :)

    OK, here are the steps to change the icon spacing in Windows 10:

    • Open Regedit - Windows + R keys, type regedit and hit enter
    • Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
    • Then in the right hand pane double click IconSpacing
    • Choose any value between -480 to -2730 where -480 represents the minimum spacing and -2730 represents the maximum spacing
    • Then double click IconVerticalSpacing - set any value between -480 to -2730
    • Close Regedit and reboot

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
