    Visible Highlight Icon Lag (Ver 1909, 64 bit)

    I've been experiencing something that's been bothering me, it's uncomfortable. Basically, whenever I hover to an icon app, I can see visible highlight lag. Like lag for the icon to highlight/turn blue.



    Here's what I mean:

    You know how when you click and drag on the desktop, it creates a blue drag box, square/rectangle.
    There's lag, strangely. When I created a new user, and logged onto that user. There doesn't seem to be any lag. I really need help. Thanks a lot for stopping by!

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put

    Hi Laurie,

    As per the issue description I understand that you are facing issues with desktop icons.

    I suggest you try the following step in order to arrange the icons.

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on view
    • Check the option auto arrange icons.
    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks.
