    Refreshing Desktop auto arranges Desktop Icons!


    I'm running Windows 10 Pro (version 1803 OS Build 17134.228 - a/o Aug 15, 2018)


    It appears some recent update has decided to ignore my Desktop settings and auto arrange all my Desktop Icons whenever I refresh my Desktop (right click background / left click Refresh) even though My Desktop "View" option has "Auto Arrange" unchecked.


    DesktopOK saves my butt but the Desktop shouldn't "Auto Arrange" unless I ask it to.

    :)

    auto arrange icon desktop , why ?

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to try the steps and check if it helps.

    a) Right click on Desktop.

    b) Click on View.

    c) Uncheck both "Arrange icons to grid" and "Auto arrange icons".

    d) Restart the computer and check if it helps.
