Windows 10: Downloading shifts icons bug?

I have encountered this really annoying bug sometimes where downloading will place the item in front of all the icons on the desktop instead of the back, this results in all my icons shifting back in one grid. I have auto arrange icons disabled. This is on Windows 10, and there isn't much information on this issue. How do you fix this?

Windows 10 - Icons shift

Hi Kerry,

Failure to keep the icons on your preferred arrangements can be related to how the
Auto arrange icons option is setup. To isolate you concern, we suggest that you confirm that this option is not checked on your settings. To do this, here are the steps:

• Right-click on a blank space on your desktop.
• Hover your cursor to the View option.
• From the list of options, click the following options deselect them:
  • Auto arrange icons.
  • Align icons to the grid.
  
  
  
  

Once you're done, replicate the concern and check if the issue persists.

We'll appreciate if you can send us and update.
