  1. Windows Desktop Icons and Applications Move After Sleep


    Whenever my computer goes to sleep, the icons and applications all move to my main monitor but not on shutdowns and restarts. I want to keep the main monitor the same and I shouldn't have to make compromises with my own computer the main has is larger, a better refresh rate, different brand, and connecting cables. My computer is running the latest version of windows and AMD software, and I've run SFC. The icons were working never got the applications to work before, an update I'm guessing, and now it doesn't. This is very annoying and if anyone has anything that has experienced my problem or has any suggestions

    :)

  2. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put

    Hi Laurie,

    As per the issue description I understand that you are facing issues with desktop icons.

    I suggest you try the following step in order to arrange the icons.

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on view
    • Check the option auto arrange icons.
    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks.
