Windows 8.1 desktop icons problem

[Michael]

Hello guys. I'm having a strange problem with my desktop. The icons keep on rearranging themselves from its previous location which I think the lowest resolution of my desktop, 1024x768 which is roughly a third of my 1080p screen(see screenshot below).

 

I've tried scanning for corrupted files using sfc scannow command with no avail. Is there any solution other than creating new account? 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

If I were you, I'd just have the programs I use the most on my task bar and the rest on the start screen to clean up that mass and clutter. Or put them in a folder somewhere easily accessible.

I had that problem for a while, and I let my computer run for a couple days without restarting it. After that, the icons were fine.

Are you running some kind of game at that resolution?

Right click then go to View then untic auto arrange to grid

I've already done that when I'm recovering something on hdd(which took almost 3 days) but it didnt fix the problem.

 

@ZetZet

No. I run all my games at 1080p.

I've tried to disable the auto align to grid already but it didnt work.

Should do it as a first option since it makes your screen look much cleaner and such.
