Windows 10: Desktop icons moving after update

Hello everyone. Recently updated my PC. Was one of the updates that says update and shutdown when powering off the PC. When I restarted the PC. All of my icons are bunched up in the corner all stacked up on each other. I cannot move them to where I want them on the desktop. I already disabled align to grid and tried it but didn't make any difference. I am not able to put them close together in rows like I used to be able to and it only lets me put a few or row. If I try to place one and it doesn't let it go there, it just goes back to the puke in the Upper let hand corner. The only way it seem

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
