Windows 10: Desktop icons have a "squeeze" sign on the top left

Most (only except the icon in the picture) of the icons on my system (not only on desktop) have this indication on the top right. What does that mean? How do I remove it?

:)

 

Icon at top left of desktop






This icon used to be in the form of a folder, but I deleted it and it's come back as a piece of paper. I haven't a clue as to what it's for, because when I click on it, nothing happens.

Anyone else getting this?

 

Icon at top left of desktop

Can you Restore it from the Recycle Bin?

 

Cannot put icons on the left side of my desktop

Hi Charlie,

You should be able to arrange your desktop icons however you want. Since you want them all aligned on the left side of your desktop screen, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Right-click at a blank area on your desktop.
• Hover on View.
• In the right pane, look for Auto arrange icons. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.
• Hover again on View.
• This time, check Align icons to grid. Your icons should now be aligned on the left side of the screen.

Let us know if the issue persists so we can further assist you.

Regards.
