Windows 10: win 10 deskyop icons keep moving

In win XP the desktop icons would keep thier placw even if the resolution changed. Didn't look very pretty but at least you knew where you icons would be. now they move around on thier own. and no i don't play any games or sum such nonsense. Have tried all the "fixes" I could find to no avail. No I don't want third part software. Is microsoft ever going to fix this? In my opinion Microsoft is missing the boat, after all Desktop is thier baby. Impossible to get any work done when you speng half of your time looking for Desktop shortcuts because they are not where you left them! windows 10, well lets just say works, sort of.

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

 

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.
