Windows 10: One desktop icon won't stay put!

A little while ago, I noticed that one desktop icon just will NOT stay where I put it! Every time I restart the computer, it goes someplace else! I've looked online at a few suggested fixes, but none have worked.SO I am asking the question here to see if anyone else has suggestions! It is only effecting one icon in particular so far!...

Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put

Hi Laurie,

As per the issue description I understand that you are facing issues with desktop icons.

I suggest you try the following step in order to arrange the icons.

• Right click on the desktop.
• Click on view
• Check the option auto arrange icons.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks.

 

Since Last Monthly Update, Desktop Icons Move

I only suggested deselecting those two options as a start. Your issue is common and with more then one possible cause\cure. The app i pointed you too is small and requires no installation. You can just stick it on the taskbar. Are you using any third party software that alters windows gui ?

Deleted icons stay on desktop (not in desktop folder)

I can only suggest that you
1 Add a list of steps you have already taken.
2 Add a comment about restarting the computer. Do the deleted icons disappear then?
2 Add a comment explaining if any Desktop items do delete correctly and whether or not there are any significant differences between those that do delete correctly and those that don't.
3 Add a list of any OS tweaks you have done & any third-party OS-related utilities you have run.

I assume you have already reinstalled your display driver.
I don't see a Repair install as being relevant. Repair Install - TenForumsTutorials
