    Hi all

    Please help me with my problem.
    When I change display to TV output, my desktop icon change position on desktop.
    What happend? What can I do to fix this problem?

    I tried:
    Icon cache rebuild
    Change registrations in regedit, which is related with ESET problem: http://www.askvg.com/fix-desktop-ico...in-windows-10/
    Nothing helps. Can somebody help?

    :)

  3. Clean Windows 10 Install Hangs on Initial Splash Screen

    These are going to sound like canned answers, but give them a try:

    There can be many reasons for booting to a black screen. These screens may appear with or without the mouse pointer. The main causes observed are:

    Problems with the driver for your display adapter;

    The video output is being sent to an unexpected port;

    Please try these steps first if you’re booting to a black screen:

    Blank or black screen before sign-in:

    Check your connections

    Try connecting to different video outputs on the PC. Sometimes a change in driver can cause the video to be sent to a different display adapter or different output (such as from HDMI to DVI, or DisplayPort to VGA).

    If it is a desktop PC, try connecting to a different display adapter. If you are connected to an add-in video card, try connecting to the built-in video from the motherboard.

    I would also recommend you try resetting your BIOS defaults.

    Desktop icon problem after connecting output display

    I am no expert in this topic.

    My speculation would be..................... screen resolution issue.

    This is issue? On Win7 this was normal function, that all of the icon stayed on their place... something is wrong.
    With screen resolution I've made everything.... nothing helps

    When I just duplicate screen, whithout resize everything is ok. When display only on TV via HDMI, icons change their places.
    I have 1366*768 on computer...
