    Moving icons to bottom of screen


    Somehow all the taskbar icons moved to a vertical column on the right of the screen, and I cannot find a way to get them back to the bottom, where I prefer them. Any ideas? Thanks.

    :)

    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 Moving icons to bottom of screen ;)

    Can't move desktop icons to bottom row of the screen

    Hello,

    We appreciate your earnest effort to reach out with Microsoft Community. We understand that you were unable to move desktop icons to the bottom row of the screen due to certain changes in Windows 10. To help you accomplish the task, we recommend that you
    follow the steps below.

    • Right click on empty space on desktop; then click View.
    • On the dropdown, select Auto arrange icons.

    Check if that resolves your concern.

    Your response will be highly appreciated.

    Moving icons to bottom of screen

    Feature suggestion: Add "Options" screen + add icon for it

    Suggestion:
    The place for the options, namely the top left corner system menu, is a bit strange, most similar programs do not use it like that.
    Most programs use a separate Options (or maybe Settings, whichever sounds best) screen.

    So, I suggest for the menu items in the system menu to become like this:
    Restore
    Move
    Size
    Minimize
    Close
    Check for Update...
    Options
    Read Asic Quality
    Launch GPU-Z Instaler
    About...
    (or maybe Always on Top option can also stay)

    Also, optionally I suggest adding a Gear or maybe Wrench icon next to the Camera icon in top right.
    When that Gear or Wrench icon is clicked, for the Options/Settings screen to appear.
    Where we have the Tooltips, Always on Top, Tooltip language and the other options.

    What do you think? Thanks for any comments!

    NOTE: Also, if the Size system menu item as well as the Restore menu item are not needed, they can both be removed. It is not trivial, but there is a way. *Smile Moving icons to bottom of screen :)
