    My desktop icons move to a grid on the left for no reason

    Hello,

    If your icons are aligned to a grid, this means that the settings of your desktop are currently auto arranged and automatically aligned. Since you want to rearrange your desktop icons on however you like them, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Right-click at a blank area on your desktop.
    • Hover on View.
    • In the right pane, look for Auto arrange icons. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.
    • Hover again on View.
    • This time, look for Align icons to grid. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.

    After doing these steps, you'll be able to rearrange all your desktop icons again on how you want it.

    Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance, feel free to post back.

  4. The icon grid is not centred

    My Desktop Icons shift to the left edge on a weekly basis

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to get more information regarding the issue that you re facing.

    Does that mean that you customize the icons on the desktop and it will auto arrange to the left side of the desktop?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to uncheck the option
    Align icons to the Grid
    option. To do so,

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on View.
    • Uncheck Align icons to the Grid option.
    Hope the information helps if the issue still persists, reply with the more information regarding the issue that you are facing. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
