Windows 10: my desktop icons are scrambled and over each other

when I made some changes on the resolution the desktop icons got mad and they come over each other and not shown on the left as it was, and they aren't shown on the desktop properly.

This problem has been alive and well for at least 20 years and Microsoft can't fix it. Every version of Win I've used has had the problem. NOTHING works to keep icons from scrambling. Maybe the "fix" is there with DesktopOK, but it's not really a fix, it's a hack. I'm further convinced MS will never fix it based on the complaint herein that Win11 has the same problem. I was hoping my Win7Pro was the last version that still scrambled the desktop, but nope.

 

Remove Linux Desktop Icons

I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

As I noted in my previous question, automatic arrange is not checked, yet Windows continues to scramble my icons. Additional information: my screen resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 which is the recommended setting. I put my Recycle Bin icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen, and when my icons get scrambled it is moved to another location about 2/3 of the way to the right of the screen, indicating that maybe windows rearranged icons based on the assumption that I had another resolution. Any other ideas?
