Windows 10: Desktop items moving after reboot

A user has two monitors, one 1920 res primary and the other 1280x1040 secondary.



He moves all his icons to where he wants on the desktop and then after a reboot they all move back to the way they were.


I have made sure Windows 10 is full up to date and on the latest feature set.

All drivers are up to date.


I have gone through every step I can find on general help guides -

NOTHING has worked.


What else can I do?

Move Favorites icon to desktop win-10

Your suggestion does not work. It did work on Windows 7.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows.

• How are you trying to add the favorites to desktop?

I suggest you to try the below steps to save the favorites on desktop and check if it helps.

• Open the Internet Explorer and minimize the screen.
• Then go to the favorites tab and then drag any favorites that you have saved to the desktop.
• Once you get the favorites items \ folders then you can open the favorites and check if it is opening.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
