Desktop icons rearranging

[TrainFan475]

I recently switched my monitor from 1440x900 to a 1600x900 monitor. Now, every time I refresh the screen or restart my pc, my icons get scrambled around and I have to keep rearranging them.

Welcome to windows 10, a garbage OS.

 

I had a simililar problem after using only an external monitor on an laptop, with the same resolution though.
Ultimately how I fixed it was plugging the external monitor back in again, mirroring the screen first only on the external one, then on both and then disabling the peripheral monitor. It was fixed after that. You can might try something similar.
 

However if you cant, try these:

https://winaero.com/blog/fix-windows-10-does-not-save-desktop-icon-position-layout/

 

Neither of them worked for me, but maybe it they do for you.

 

 

If all fails, display fusion offers a function to re-load desktop icons.
Or if you want to go the free route, try "DesktopOK", it also has said featuer.

Though neither will fix it, they will just reload your desktop icons in the way you want them to within a few clicks.
