    Desktop icons suddenly bigger and scrambled around


    I have no idea what caused this, I just went to my desktop like normal and all my icons are slightly larger and randomly scrambled around. Not auto arranged, I mean they are actually scrambled around the desktop. This has happened before, but it fixed itself before I could find a solution. Anyone have a fix for this?

    SCRAMBLING OF SCREEN ICONS

    I see that I am among an army of Windows users who are frustrated with the way that Windows periodically scrambles the icons on the desktop. Furthermore, the solutions provided by Microsoft don't solve the problem. Like many other users, I have lots
    of icons on my screen, and arrange them so that I can find them as needed. I cannot begin to express in civil terms how EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING it is to have them suddenly scrambled for no apparent reason! Why doesn't Microsoft fix this?

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop icons suddenly bigger and scrambled around

    Font size suddenly became bigger.

    I am facing this unique issue and the font size suddenly changed to a bigger size. I tried updating the system and drivers but still could not solve it. Even the Icon texts on the desktop also have become bigger. I have attached a screenshot of the issue. Kindly help me solve this. Tried finding solutions but couldnt solve the issue.

    Thank you in advance *Biggrin
