    Windows 10 - Every icon on desktop reset to upper left hand corner when change personalize...


    All my meticulously arranged icons reset to the upper left corner of the screen at various times.

    Windows 10 - Every icon on desktop reset to upper left hand corner when change personalize setting

    All my meticulously arranged icons reset to the upper left corner of the screen at various times. Randomly on restart (maybe one out of 6 times) and I've also found I can reproduce the error every time by going into "personalize"->"themes"->"desktop icon
    settings" and unchecking a desktop icon box, like "network", and clicking apply, will reset them to the upper left corner every time, instantly.

    I suspect it has something to do with the second monitor I started using recently, as I never had this issue before that.

    Please help!

    Hi,

    Failure to keep the icons on your preferred arrangements can be related to how the
    Auto arrange icons option is setup. To isolate you concern, we suggest that you confirm that this option is not checked on your settings. To do this, here are the steps:

    • Right-click on a blank space on your desktop.
    • Hover your cursor to the View option.
    • From the list of options, click the following options deselect them:
      • Auto arrange icons.
      • Align icons to the grid.
