    Rearranged desktp items


    I tend to keep my desktop items in clusters following a certain logic. Why is Windows 10 rearranging my desktop items every once in a while and is there a way to prevent it other than using a proper OS? I have the 'auto arrange icons' option unchecked. I see a lot of people having the same issue for years, shouldn't someone at Microsoft be working to fix it? Many thanks.

    :)

    How do I rearrange pinned taskbar items?

    Unfortunately many folks are confusing pinned task bar items, pinned jump list items off the task bar, and quick access lists in explorer, and thus, giving irrelevant answers.

    The original question pertains to pinned jump list items off the task bar. Quick access and jump lists are independent of one another, therefore rearranging quick access items/lists does not affect jump lists, nor vice-versa.

    To the OP, there is indeed currently no way to rearrange jump list items without unpinning all and re-pinning in the order you prefer. MS's decision to disable drag-and-drop functionality here is curious. And annoying for many users. I personally don't use the quick access feature (formerly known as favorites), as I dislike the extra steps to open explorer and having another window to close. Jump lists are more efficient to many users' workflow. Removing drag-and-drop functionality diminished their usefulness, IMHO. 'Hoping MS returns this functionality to Win10 in the near future via updates.

    Here's an article that is more on point:

    How do I rearrange pinned taskbar items?

    I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and I can no longer rearrange items in the "pinned lists" of my taskbar items:

    In Windows 7, all I had to do was drag an item to a new location in the list and it would move. Now, in Windows 10, it won't let me drag to rearrange anything.

    Is it still possible to rearrange items on the pinned lists?
