Windows 10: [IMAGE]Can't put items on the bottom row of desktop

When I try to place my recycle bin on the bottom row it just moves one row up.
I didn't had this issue before.
I did a system restore and it was on the bottom row for a couple of seconds and sudddenly it moved up ;(
I can place it on the bottom row if I change the text size to 100%, but that's too small. Is there any other way?

Hi,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

The issue could be due to some third-party programs causing the issue. The issue could be due to some third party programs. I would suggest you to boot the computer into clean boot and Check if the issue persists.
Clean boot will eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is
causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

Note: Follow How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot from article KB929135 to reset the computer to normal mode.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other issues with Windows in future.

 

Check to see if Auto arrange icons is enabled. Right click desktop, left click view, is auto arrange checked?

 

Try calibrate the display. Press Win + R > type in -> colorcpl <- press Enter > Advanced tab > Calibrate display.

 

this isn't checked.

I still can't put things on the bottom row.

 

Looks like the bottom row is reserved. Just tried to move an icon there and it jumps back up a row on my laptop. So it is a feature, for some reason.

 

This is a 'feature' of Windows 10 which MS need to fix. Depending on what screen resolution and vertical icon spacing you have, you may be unable to use the bottom row. You can change the vertical icon spacing which may help - see https://www.tenforums.com/general-dis...cons-grid.html

I could place icons on the lower row with a reduced icon spacing but icons titles with 2 rows then overlapped! Beware of using the utility DesktopOK in the above thread since it caused addition problems on my PC.

 

Okay

Okay, Thank you.
I found something out btw.
If you have the row full till the gap then you can place icons in the gap.
Not possible to put the "ny map" folder on the bottom row:



This is what I did:

I observed the same issue when display scaling was set to 110%. If prevented me from putting icons in bottom row and it also made icons in notification area to disappear. A funny workaround for the bottom row was to put some other icons into the second-from-bottom row temporarily and then put the desired icon under them. The temporary icons would "block" the bottom icon from jumping up. After that it is OK to remove the temporary icons - the bottom icon will stay in place. (This is essential the same workaround that you discovered)

Both the jumping bottom row icons and disappearing notification icons is a bug in Windows 10 triggered by rounding errors in 110% scaling mode. Switching to 109% scaling caused these issues to go away in my case.

Apparently the issue is there in 100% scaling mode as well for some display resolutions and icon spacing values.

 

Thank you, I'll use that work around for my recycle bin. That was the only icon I really wanted on the bottom row.

 

Do MS ever test common features such as this?

 

Testing has not been their strong point lately.

I almost jumped with joy when I saw that they finally replaced their old miniscule environment variable editor with a large and significantly more advanced/convenient one. But the number of frustrating bugs in the new editor is just appaling.

 

This worked for me, too, after wasting time fiddling with icon spacing in the registry. I wanted the recycle bin in the bottom row, so moved it as low as I could (second row from bottom), the filled the space above it with icons, then moved an icon between recycle bin and the icon above it. Recycle bin promptly moved to the bottom!

 

am I missing something ,I seem to be able to put icons where ever I want
