    VERY FRUSTRATED! Icons keep being rearranged, Auto-arrange is OFF


    I have a home build high end desktop for gaming, editing sound and video, and keep several icons on my left monitor 3 total Center 32in. 1440P is on HDMI, the sides both are 28" 4K running 1440p are DP. I have it this way because I at times use Nvidia Surround and it is the only way to get 7680x1440 rez. All 3 on DP will only Allow me Surround at 1080p! The ASUS is a bit weird with Surround.But if I SLEEP the computer OR just hit the monitor sleep hotkey, it wakes with my icons moved. NOT always. NOT all icons, just the ones at the right edge of the left monitor. I have icons on r

    windows 10 auto arrange desktop icons

    I've run sfc scan and Windows Defender. Both report nothing. Please, just explain how to stop Windows 10 from rearranging the shortcuts and icons on my desktop. The auto-arranging only started recently. I used to start my computer with the shortcuts
    and icons displayed as I arranged them. Even apps I use daily opened in the place and size that I've arranged them. With Windows 10 I have to rearrange my desktop every time I turn on my computer. If this features cannot be available as they were in the
    previous version of Windows, they should be or Windows 10 as it is now appears to be a step backwards!
