Disable Auto-arrange:
Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
Uncheck "Auto arrange icons". This allows you to manually place icons without Windows moving them automatically.
Adjust Icon Size:
Right-click on the desktop, select View, and try changing the icon size. Sometimes switching between small, medium, and large can reset the position issue.
Change Display Settings:
Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
Ensure your display resolution is set correctly.
If using multiple monitors, ensure they are set up correctly without any misalignments
