  2. Cannot put icons on the left side of my desktop

    Hi Charlie,

    You should be able to arrange your desktop icons however you want. Since you want them all aligned on the left side of your desktop screen, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Right-click at a blank area on your desktop.
    • Hover on View.
    • In the right pane, look for Auto arrange icons. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.
    • Hover again on View.
    • This time, check Align icons to grid. Your icons should now be aligned on the left side of the screen.

    Let us know if the issue persists so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

  3. Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT



    • I found a bug on the newly released Windows 10 on the Samsung Ativ book 9+ (I'm not sure if this bug is found on other laptops). The function, "Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT," doesn't work with the ctrl button on the right side
      of the keyboard. However, it works when the ctrl button on the left side is used instead. I'm wondering if other users are facing the same problem.

  4. left or right click not working on desktop

    My Desktop Icons shift to the left edge on a weekly basis

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to get more information regarding the issue that you re facing.

    Does that mean that you customize the icons on the desktop and it will auto arrange to the left side of the desktop?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to uncheck the option
    Align icons to the Grid
    option. To do so,

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on View.
    • Uncheck Align icons to the Grid option.
    Hope the information helps if the issue still persists, reply with the more information regarding the issue that you are facing. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
