Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put
Since I installed Win11, I have not been able to keep the desktop icons in one place.
Obviously, I have turned off Auto-arrange, that didn't help. The odd part is, the positions will survive through a reboot or two, but then just when I think all is well, they'll be scattered all over the two monitors!
I've finally started using a program that remembers the positions and will restore them, but I'd like for them to just stay put! I never had this issue with any previous version of Windows, but Win11 seems buggier than a roach motel!
Don't get me started on the networking problems...
While you’re already using a third-party app that remembers positions, maybe consider trying other options. Tools like Fences allow you to categorize icons and can help maintain order. While it's not a fix for the core issue, it can provide some organization.
