    I really want to customize my desktop wherein each icon is group with each other, for example games are together, and so are software for work. However, whenever I move it, it will keep going back to the default place where everyone else located.Is there a way to customize where to put it?

    Hi,

    It's possible that some settings on your computer are preventing you from placing desktop icons in a specific location. We'd like to learn more about your concern so we could provide the proper troubleshooting steps. We just have a few questions
    for you:


    • Which version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
      Start
      , type winver, and press Enter.

    • Does this only happen with certain icons, or does this happen with any icon? Please post a screenshot so we could study it further.

    • Did you make any changes to your computer before this started happening?
