    Icons Moving Between Two Monitors & Windows Spotlight Not Working


    So I have two problems that I am almost positive are connected. First, windows spotlight is stuck on the same picture every time I restart. Second, my icons move around between my two monitors whenever I restart or turn off the computer in any way. The only way to fix both problems is by unplugging my second monitor, but they immediately start again when I plug the monitor back in.For example, if I unplug the HDMI cable for my second monitor and restart my computer, I immediately get a new Windows Spotlight picture when it turns back on.

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    That's because your resolution is changing each time. To test, try setting to 1024x768, arrange a couple of icons and then restart the PC. As long as the resolution after startup is still 1024x768, then the icons won't move. Trust me. *Wink Icons Moving Between Two Monitors & Windows Spotlight Not Working ;)

  3. Windows spotlight not work!!

    Yes friend all these steps working for me.check these path , first path for check : C:\Windows\Web\Screen (find the stuck image and rename it) , or second path " C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\ " at this path you will se two main folders check all these folder at all and you will find the image there.Rename or delete the image stuck only.After re-register again the spotlight and wait after some restart.Something last i had the same problem and delete the registry folder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Creative\S-1-5-21-1367095634-179868200-954147944-1001" and do a restart after all these step the spotlight download again new images and start working again.Please make a backup first at register.before delete everything.

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    I see. I was using a 23" monitor before and the highest resolution was below 1080p so I guess windows remembers that monitors resolution right? I have tried de.das.dude suggestion, but everytime I turn off the computer after arranging the icons it goes back to misarranging the icons.
