Windows 10: Overlapping Icons on Windows 11 Desktop

Hi folks,The icons on my desktop are overlapping. I have the "Auto-Arrange" and "Align to Grid" options enabled. I tried changing the size of the icons - Small, Medium, Large. Also changed the scale of the display back to 150%. I am currently using 175%. None of them made a difference. Any ideas?

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.

ICONs overlapping on desktop

Hi Ethan,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about Desktop icons overlapping.

The reason why your icons overlap each other is that the align icons to grid is disabled. To resolve this issue, you just need to right-click on an empty space on your desktop and hover to "View" and click on "Align icons to grid" and click on "Auto-arrange icons"

You may check this link for more information about aligning icons. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57521-turn-...

I hope the information I provided will help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,
