    SCRAMBLING OF SCREEN ICONS


    I see that I am among an army of Windows users who are frustrated with the way that Windows periodically scrambles the icons on the desktop. Furthermore, the solutions provided by Microsoft don't solve the problem. Like many other users, I have lots of icons on my screen, and arrange them so that I can find them as needed. I cannot begin to express in civil terms how EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING it is to have them suddenly scrambled for no apparent reason! Why doesn't Microsoft fix this?

    screen icons scrambled to random sort on left side of screen


    I don't know a solution to that problem, but maybe a suggestion is to make the Desktop simpler for you to use. I don't know how many icons you have on there, but I have everything organized on my Desktop, so if an error like that occurs, I wouldn't have too much of a hassle by rearranging everything back to the way it was.



    Sorry, this is not a fix for that error, only a suggestion to prevent the error from being too troublesome.

    As you can see in the screen shot, I have in the first column, I have The Computer itself, the main icon. Then after that, My important files and folders in My Stuff. Then the Recycle Bin which has a parody of a name which still makes sense, the place where the computer can Recycle Binary. After that is the Downloads from the internet folder, so I don't cram the Desktop from downloading straight to the Desktop. And after that, Projects that I do on the computer.
    Column number 2 has all the icons programs sorted in those three folders
    Column number 3 is just other programs.
    Column 4 has a folder named Games and shortcuts to the games are in there.
    Column 5 is a shortcut to Windows Update, so I can double click it and see what updates the computer has done, etc..

    There's an extra file there on the Desktop, but no worries, I'm working with that file at the moment.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
