Icons keep moving by itself?

[Nico1533]

Hello, this has been happening for a while now my icons keep moving to this side of my screen https://gyazo.com/5e4ffa87c3f2f76e13dc778ceb3b1174 everytime I restart my computer or just close my window session, i want them to stay like that https://gyazo.com/2aee548e31de58bc9ab3dd635b38ff97

 

So if anyone could help that would be amazing, thanks in advance.

the CMOS battery in a motherboard is a battery that runs a chip that stores the date, and time information and your settings in your BIOS. it's a small round battery on the motherboard itself about the size of a quarter and it is called a CR 2032 I think. I don't know if that has any effect on your icon positions, but it could be that...

There should be a button on your motherboard or at the back to clear CMOS

Already done that

Have you had any other problems, as this doesn't sound right if there's no other problems with the system?

 

I've seen this happen when there's possibly stability issues and the windows explorer.exe has failed in some way... but haven't seen this happen on a win10 system. Are you running an OC?

sorry for the late respond but no, no problem with the system and no OC

Hmm, don't have a clue then... if nothing else has changed on your PC and you don't have any other problems I can't see a reason why they would change every time. Only other thing I can think of is some kind of malware.

Do you have multiple screens? I had a similar issue before when Windows didn't seems to be sure which monitor was my main one.
