    Desktop Icons blown apart


    I have the same problem listed on this thread and tried the same remedies.https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/desktop-suddenly-out-of-scale-icons-spaced-way/2ccad350-6182-4fae-9148-2631ed40635dOccasionally Microsoft does an update and the desktop goes nuts. This gets tiresome. I have a Surface Pro 6. As a side note, I really don't want to go to Windows 11 because of the tweaks that have to be done to get it to appear with the same conveniences as Windows 10. Maybe I could also suggest that a users package come out so the tweaks didn't have to be in the registry.

    :)

    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.
