Windows 10: Desktop shortcuts and files are moving after reboot

Hey my desktop shortcut and files are moving in a certain position(not sorted by any means, seems arbitrarily, but everytime the same position) and its driving me crazy. I already searched and found many thread on multiple sites, but nothing helped me.

As far as I can tell I think it has something to do with the differentiation of public desktop and user desktop. I didnt even know there was a difference, but I just want that my Icons stay where they are. Someone said that this behaviour could happen when someones playing with the directory settings "show hided files". I tried different settings on this but didnt worked. I already tried checking or unchecking sort settings on the context menu on the desktop.

Does someone know a solution to this?

Desktop Shortcut Icons

Hi Mik-Dav,

The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

• Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
• Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
• Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.
