    Stretched desktop icon tiles


    I was playing around with Ease of Access settings DPI and font size and it permanently stretched my desktop icon tiles. I'm using Windows 10 November 2019 Update and this is a bug from that version. Changing the settings won't even help it. I put sysprep.exe on my taskbar and I think that Audit Mode the weird thing on OOBE will help this weird permanent Windows 10 bug. I attached a picture of my desktop with the icons. Now I mostly turn off my desktop icons.

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Stretched desktop icon tiles

    Desktop icons

    After this last update, the desktop completely changed. The desktop icons disappeared and the Start window functions also changed. There is no longer a list of programs coming up on the left side of the screen and the tiles showing on the right. Only the
    tiles aare showing up on the whole screen. A right click on the desktop does not work. All I can find are solutions from 2015.

    Any suggestions?
