    Hello Microsoft Support,


    since the latest Update Windows 10 keeps moving the "This PC" icon by itself. I have a tripple screen setup with a 24'' screen as the main display in the middle and two 19'' screens on the sides. I arranged my desktop icons to have all my programms on the side 19'' screen and my games on my middle main screen on purpose. However since the latest update the icon for "This PC" is constantly moved from where i placed it to the main screen.


    This is absolutely tilting. It stays where i left it however if i right click the desktop and choose refresh it will move to the main screen. The same happens when i reboot my PC every single time. Every other icon stays where i left it except for that one. Is there a setting Microsoft set by default with the latest update that i can change or did you guys just bring back a very annoying behaviour i haven't encountered since Windows 8.1? If so then please forward this to development team. In the end there is zero reason for this icon to be forced to the main screen at all.


    Thank you very much and have a nice Sunday and week.


    Daniel Wicke

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    That's because your resolution is changing each time. To test, try setting to 1024x768, arrange a couple of icons and then restart the PC. As long as the resolution after startup is still 1024x768, then the icons won't move. Trust me. *Wink Since the Spring Update windows 10 keeps moving the "This PC" icon on my desktop ;)

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.

    Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    I see. I was using a 23" monitor before and the highest resolution was below 1080p so I guess windows remembers that monitors resolution right? I have tried de.das.dude suggestion, but everytime I turn off the computer after arranging the icons it goes back to misarranging the icons.
