Windows 10: Windows 11 Desktop Icons keep moving pasted items go to top left

Hi. Whenever I paste a DIR onto my desktop, rather than it go where I am pasting it it goes to the top left which then moves all the other icons down the screen. I have Googled and tried the right click on the desktop, view, uncheck auto arrange icons and unchecked align icons to grid. This did not fix the issue.Until Windows 11 I have never experienced this issue and I find it very annoying. Has anyone got a solution for this issue?Thanks.Win 11 HomeVersion 23H2OS Build 22631.3672

Top left corner icon keeps moving

Funny thats the opposite of my issue. Thats the spot i want to keep my pc icon but it wont stay there, everything else remains where its supposed to be.

Thats even more effort than just moving the stray icon back where i want it to be.
