    Desktop icons rearranged after last update


    My desktop icons are no longer aligned on the left edge of my desktop but are spread across the screen. Sometimes, but not always, when I move an icon it does not move to where I placed it but either stays in the original location or automatically moves somewhere else.


    Auto arrange icons and Align icons to grid are not selected.


    I have Windows 10 Home, version 1909, OS build 18363.657

    :)
