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

 

I changed my taskbar icons and now I don't know how to change them back to their default icon...

Hi AZ,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the concern as you would like to change the app icons on the taskbar to default.
In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

• What is the Version and Build of Windows 10 currently installed? (Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
  
• Are you referring the default Windows 10 app icon on taskbar?
  

In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if you are able to get the default icons.

1. Right Click on the icons in the taskbar and click on Unpin from taskbar.
   
2. Now press Windows + I key to launch Settings.
   
3. Click on Personalization and select Themes from the left pane.
   
4. Click on Desktop icon settings from the right pane.
   
5. Click on Restore Default and click OK.
   
6. Now click on the Search box and type the app you want to pin to taskbar.
   
7. Right click on the app and select Pin to Taskbar.
   
8. Now check if you have the default icons.
