Windows 10: Windows 10 desktop icons keep rearranging every time I boot up my PC

A couple days ago I just came of a game to find that half of my desktop icons had been shoved into the top left hand corner and I don't know why... if I turn on "Auto Arrange" icons it fixes my problem completely even after a reboot but that feature honestly sucks and makes the desktop unusable... has anyone found a fix for this? any advise or answers are much appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Desktop icons rearrange at random

Hi,

In order for us to find out what causes your screen to go blank and rearrange the desktop icons, we would like to gather more information:

• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
Some people have this and some don't.

Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving
