7 Topics[BUG]Desktop Icon Order and File Explorer Window Size Not Saved
After updating to Build 26200.5661, I found two major issues: 1. The desktop icon order is not retained after reboot or shutdown. Every time the system restarts, icons are randomly rearranged. 2. The File Explorer window size is not remembered. It always resets to the default size after closing and reopening. These issues did not occur in the previous build. Expected behavior: - Desktop icons should retain their order and position. - Explorer windows should remember their last size and position81Views1like2CommentsI was told by a Microsoft assistant to come here for help regarding an insider update issue.
As the title reads, a Microsoft assistant told me to consult this community regarding the issue I am facing now. A while ago, I foolishly did not read the fine print and opted into the dev channel of the insider program, because I was having difficulty installing Windows 11. I later found out to my horror that, I could not opt out until a particular window was announced. I have been waiting since then, and updating my computer in hopes that one of these updates will allow me to swap back to the beta channel, and then, hopefully to a stable version of Windows. When I attempted to update today to the "Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.26120.2705) (KB5050636)", I received the "Install error - 0x800f081f" message, and all the results I have searched have so far given me nothing but pieces of advice that make me fearful for the safety of my computer data. Is there anything I can do that will not run the risk of data deletion, or is it hopeless? I feel like I've run down every alley here. Thank you.206Views1like2Comments
