Windows 11 Desktop Icons Rearranged After Restart
My laptop is connected to an external monitor. After every other boot/restart, desktop icons get rearranged with huge spacing, but a second restart fixes it. Any solutions?

Set the scaling for the external monitor and the laptop screen to the same value, and disable the option to automatically arrange icons.

In Settings > System > Display, set the scaling for the external display and the laptop screen to the same value, and disable the Auto-arrange icons option.
