I've bought a new monitoe Dell U2414H a month ago and since I've plugged it in and used it I've experienced a problem where my desktop icons rearrange themselves after restart.
This happens sometimes, from *my understanding* and observation of when this problem occurs and when it doesn't (as I said it doesn't occur after every restart but most of the time it happens), so from my observation it happens if I boot up my computer after it wasn't on for a period of X hours, it's seems that after a set amount of time that it's off it won't rearrange the icons, but after it passes certain amount of time while the computer is off, if I restart it'll most likely rearrange the icons. (Again, this might be wrong but this is an assumption I've made by observing this problem)
What have I tried ? (I quote because those are suggestions given to me by users from another forum) :
Quote:
Move the icons where you want them, right click desktop and refresh, reboot.
See if they still move.
Quote:
Use Cleanmgr.exe to clean your icon thumbnails then restart your computer to see if the issue is still present.
Quote:
Right Click on Desktop > Personalize
On the left nav bar, you should see "Change Desktop Icons"
Uncheck: "Allow themes to change desktop icons"
