Windows 10: Icon spacing

Icons out of the blue are widely spaced and wont go back into normal position. Have used the left click method on desktop to arrange and nothing, typed in regedit, but theres no regedit in the list to edit spacing of icons. What a mess Windows is. Have been correcting out of the blue issues for over 15 years. I have no time for this rubbish. How do i get regedit to appear so i can fix another Microsoft pain in the butt problem? Dont get me started with that thing called Bill Gates.He couldnt fight his way out of a wet paper bag.Lucky i didnt pay very much for Windows 10.Its not worth it.

Icon spacing

This is how I did:

1. Right click on desktop->Display Settings and set it 150%. NOTE: If you have dual monitors, click on other monitor and do the same.
   
   
   
2. Control Panel->Display->Set a custom scaling level, again set it to 150%, Change the text size for each item: Menu, Title, icon etc... then click apply
   
   
   
   

 

Font and Icon size

Hi Vickie,

It's possible that some settings were accidentally changed, affecting your icons and font size. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
  Start, type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As initial recommendation, we suggest following these steps to change the icon size:

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
• Select View.
• Choose Medium icons or Small icons, whichever you prefer more.
  

Additionally, you can change the display size of texts and other items by following these steps:

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
• Click Display settings.
• Under Change the size of text, apps, and other items, drag the slider over to 100%.
  
• If the slider is already on 100%, click Advanced display settings.
• Under Resolution, choose the Recommended option from the drop-down choices.

We'll wait for your response to our questions and the results of the initial troubleshooting.
