Windows 10: Desktop Icons Automatically Rearrange Themselves on Restart or Sign Out

my desktop Icons reset themselves automatically to some fixed position when restart my pc. I've tried doing the theme icon uncheck trick, but it did not work, I also deleted my icon cache, but that did not work. Idk this issue randomly popped up out of nowhere, the only thing I can think of recently that updated or changed was a notepad++ update. Please help.
