    They keep going back to the same random position.

    Auto-arrange icons is OFF.

    It is not an antivirus issue.

  2. 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.

  3. Desktop Icons Rearrange after Reboot

    Hi Fernando,

    There are several causes of this problem. It might be the display settings, outdated graphic drivers, or themes allowed on the desktop icons. Since this problem happens every after Windows update, we recommend performing some troubleshooting steps that are
    applicable for the issue. We suggest that you follow these methods on how to fix this problem:

    Method 1: Uncheck Align icons to grid option on your desktop.

    • Right-click on the desktop
    • Select View and then untick Align icons to grid
      option.

    Method 2: Prevent themes to change desktop icons.

    • On Cortana search, type themes and related settings.
    • Choose Themes and related settings from the list.
    • Under Related settings, click on Desktop icon settings.
    • Untick Allow themes to change desktop icons.
    • Click on Apply and then click on OK.

    Method 3: Download the latest video or graphics drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
