    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    That's because your resolution is changing each time. To test, try setting to 1024x768, arrange a couple of icons and then restart the PC. As long as the resolution after startup is still 1024x768, then the icons won't move. Trust me. *Wink Desktop icons keep moving after turning on pc ;)

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    I see. I was using a 23" monitor before and the highest resolution was below 1080p so I guess windows remembers that monitors resolution right? I have tried de.das.dude suggestion, but everytime I turn off the computer after arranging the icons it goes back to misarranging the icons.

    Desktop icons keep moving after turning on pc

    "This PC" icon moving every time desktop is refreshed.

    I don't know if this can be traced back to a recent Windows 10 system update, but the "This PC" desktop icon keeps moving to the bottom-right-most position of the left-hand stack of desktop icons.

    ie: If I put another icon there, it will move either underneath that icon or to the top of the next column to the right if there is no space underneath.

    This is only happening to the "This PC" icon (no other icons) and if I drag the icon to its "traditional" position of being in the top-left-most corner of my desktop screen, then either reboot the PC or simply refresh the desktop by right-clicking for the
    menu and then clicking 'Refresh' - then it will move back to that incorrect position.

    I don't have Auto-Arrange icons turned on. Any suggestions to fix this? (other than just to accept/leave it or keep dragging it back where I want it every time) Thanks!
