Windows 10: Screen refreshes or freezes every time I right click on desktop.

Right clicking on icons work fine. However, when I try to right click on the desktop, one of two things happen:1. Screen refreshes.2. PC becomes irresponsive.In both cases, opening task manager and restarting explorer.exe fixes the issue. System Restore is not an option as I don't have it enabled. How do I fix this?I am on Windows 10.

"This PC" icon moving every time desktop is refreshed.

I don't know if this can be traced back to a recent Windows 10 system update, but the "This PC" desktop icon keeps moving to the bottom-right-most position of the left-hand stack of desktop icons.

ie: If I put another icon there, it will move either underneath that icon or to the top of the next column to the right if there is no space underneath.

This is only happening to the "This PC" icon (no other icons) and if I drag the icon to its "traditional" position of being in the top-left-most corner of my desktop screen, then either reboot the PC or simply refresh the desktop by right-clicking for the
menu and then clicking 'Refresh' - then it will move back to that incorrect position.

I don't have Auto-Arrange icons turned on. Any suggestions to fix this? (other than just to accept/leave it or keep dragging it back where I want it every time) Thanks!

 

Desktop

Margrave,

If the problem symptom returns [Desktop showing the correct contents when looked at in File explorer but not when looking at the Desktop itself], right-click on an empty area of the Desktop and select Refresh.

Many people have found that their Desktop's are not refreshing automatically and are forced to take this step. I searched & searched for a permanent solution but every suggestion I found either had no effect or had only a limited-duration effect.
