    (Win 10 Pro) Desktop icons moving randomly upon restart


    Every once in a while after being on sleep or restarted, my PC boots up and my desktop icons have moved in a seemingly random pattern from where I last left them. It's super annoying because I have to re-arrange them every time. does anybody know what might be causing this or how to fix it? Using 2 monitors if that's any help.

    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 (Win 10 Pro) Desktop icons moving randomly upon restart ;)

    Move Favorites icon to desktop win-10

    Your suggestion does not work. It did work on Windows 7.
