Windows 10: What's causing all of my shortcuts to move after a reboot?

Something odd has happened on my machine the last few days. I have duel monitors. I like to have my shortcuts on my left monitor, which is my primary monitor. But now, in the last few days, whenever I restart my machine, when it comes back up all of the shortcuts move from the left monitor to the right monitor. All of them are positioned in the same way, relative to themselves, but the whole batch has moved from one monitor to the other.


OK, I'll grant you that this isn't the worst thing in the world. I can move everything back from the right monitor to the left monitor, but it is an annoyance. What is causing this behavior and what, if anything, can I do to stop it?


I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise edition, 64-bit. With the 1803 update.

• Click View.
• Switch from Medium icons to Small icons or
  Large icons to Small icons.
