Windows 11 desktop icons automatically rearrange by themselves?
I arrange my desktop icons neatly, but after restarting or updating, Windows 11 rearranges them automatically. It’s messy every time. How to stop this?
I've been on the Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview for months. Currently on Build 26220.8764.ge_release...
My icons are randomly all moved to my default primary screen after my screen turns off after 15 minutes. I'm set to never go to sleep, and never hibernate. Energy Saver is off. This is a desktop and I want it on all the time.
I use "Desktop Restore" plugin to keep my icon positions saved or I'd go crazy trying to put all my icons back where they were.
BTW there IS NO "desktop right-click menu - Auto Arrange Icons" selection. You have to desktop right-click and THEN select View to see the option. As you can see, I do not have Auto Arrange checked.
