Windows 10: Desktop used to see thin white line between apps icons

On this desktop, I used to see a thin white line show up between 2 desktop app icons when I was moving it over the desktop screen to assist me where the new desktop app icon would be placed. Lost it recently.


Imagine a thin white horizontal line below CA FTB and above CA Sales Tax Handbook and I want to place a new app icon in between them.


I looked at Desktop, Start & Rationalization and did not find what I was looking for activating this thin white line.


How may I get it back?

White Lined Border around Desktop Icon after I click on it

Just to isolate the issue, have you tried to create a new user profile? Is there a lined white border around any desktop icon after you clicked on an icon?

Update us on the result.

 

Cannot change desktop icon

Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
