    Desktop Icons move during the night?


    Ya, we`ll see how good they are against the lowly Eagles Sunday nite, then we`ll see how good they are on November 13th *Smile

    You should stay up all night and stare at the screen *Shock

    The Cowboys will be lucky to make it out of the Division, especially if Perry Como comes back.

    So far I have not had this issue of "moving icons" with my new Windows 10 notebook, but my old WIndows 7 notebook was always doing it.... I found that Stardock Fences was the ideal solution, and have it installed on my new notebook... This allows you to have a "snapshot" of your desktop, if the icons move a couple of clicks and it will put them all back...

    Fences: Software from Stardock Corporation

    I only use it for this feature, but with my Windows 7 it was fantastic.. especially if like me you have quite a few icons to try to rearrange *Smile

    Too busy staying up staring at tv watching NFL, MLB and NBA all night (don't forget I'm in England, so bit of a time difference), lol.
    Trying various suggested options re icons now, thanks.

    I have this issue on 2 Zotac BI320 Zboxes. Can't figure it out either. Also note these have Intel chips so definitely NOT an nVidia thing..but Kodi is installed on both and they run 24/7 on TVs. So they are using HDMI input/output.

    Will give the theme setting a shot and see if it helps.
