    Dotted lines around desktop icons Windows 11


    Every time I click on a desktop icon it gets a dotted white line and when I click on the taskbar or refresh my desktop the icons disappear but when I click somewhere else the border reappears. I like my desktop clean and this annoying me. Is there some way to permanently disable the dotted lines around the desktop icon?

    :)

    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.

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?

    The constant dotted line box.

    In pretty much every Windows session I end up getting the dotted line box around my desktop icons. Even after restarting Windows Explorer (which ends it) it's not long before it returns. Is there a more permanent way to prevent this happening or is this just the joys of Win 10?
