    Desktop icons position/dimension reset every time I sign-out/sign-in


    Until yesterday everything was working fine. This night I shutdown my computer and this morning, when I started it up, I noticed the icons of my dekstop in the default location and with the default dimensions.

    I repositioned them , I changed icon dimensions again but if I sign out/sign in , restart , shutdown/startup the computer , all my desktop icons go back to default position and default dimension.

    Any clue on how can I fix this?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    :)

    We can't sign into your account

    Hi all, every time I try to sign in into my account, my laptop would show a sign: We can't sign into your account. This can be fixed by signing out and signing back in. I've tried it a few times already but the same message still shows. On top of that,
    my desktop background has been changed and some of my desktop apps are not there. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Replying just to add that I also tried DesktopOK; I place the icons where I want them and as soon as I click 'save' the icons go back to the left side of the desktop and in fact DesktopOK saved them all in the left side position.

    I followed several guide I found on internet however without any luck. I tried to
    • re-arrange icons where I like them and hit Refresh, as soon as I click Refresh all icons get sorted again on the left side;
    • re-arrange icons, Sign-out/Sign-it, icons sorted on the left side;
    • re-arrange icons, Shutdown/Start, icons sorted on the left side.

    My desktop was working fine , I didn't install new applications nor removed old applications. No updates (at least no visible updates) was downloaded from Windows Update.
    What can I try?

    Try right clicking your desktop, hover to View and uncheck 'Auto arrange icons'.
