    Please bring back the ability to freely arrange icons within folders "DISABLE AUTO ARRANGE"!


    I just want to "disable" confounding Auto Arrange files within folders in Windows 10. I can't understand that when you leave file/folder icons in the position and order that you want and then Windows decides to mix them up. I'm continually wasting time trying to find lost data. It's ridiculous. Does anyone know or can create something that just allows you to arrange or sort files within folders, and Leave them alone, without the OS messing them up?

    :)

  3. How to disable auto arrange on folders in Windows 10 ?

    Hi Microsoft community

    Previous versions of Windows 8 came with the ability to freely arrange icons inside a folder.

    You were able to drag and drop icons inside a folder anywhere you wanted ,but now with windows 10 I cannot freely arrange icons inside a folder

    This screenshot from windows 8 , see there is an auto arrange ,but unfortunately I cannot find it on windows 10.
