No app, no new fix software to install. All icons are in ther own places. I recently reinstalled windows 10, and now all of my icons relocate to the upper left side of the desktop after reset. I tried all of the above methods in various combinations, individually, and all except the last one. None of them worked except the last one where I set the icon size to medium or large.
I want more desktop area and would like to use the small icon setting, but it continues to move my icons to the upper left corner after resetting the computer. Robert: perfect solution. But good is mention to put this batch to temp,otherwise error message appear. Once I used the newest connection for my primary monitor, all was good. Before that, I was putting a single icon on the secondary desktop to keep them from moving.
Hope that helps. To keep my Windows 10 Home desktop icon changes from being lost, I removed all icons from the desktop, and then put them back. I solved this by renaming the icons. All other solutions about windows settings did not help. Note: When installing the older version, override the existing newer file versions! Note: for the tests,: before reboot, restore the icons array with IconSaver RestoreIcons. Your email address will not be published. This should open another menu with several desktop customization options: If the Auto-arrange icons option is checked, uncheck it and see if that makes a difference.
If unchecking the Auto-arrange icons option didn't work and the icons keep moving, it could be due to several other possibilities: 1. Here is how to fix it. Forget your WI-FI password?

As suggested in the comments below, a solution to such a problem is not to save documents themselves on the desktop. Instead, save them to some other folder, such as Documents, and create shortcuts to the documents on the Desktop. This way, when you save the document, the shortcut will not be changed, and it should keep its position on the desktop.
If Windows keeps rearranging the icons even after you've tried the previous suggestions, another possibility is that you have a faulty video card or an outdated driver for the video card. You see, if the video card or its driver do not behave well, they may change the resolution spontaneously, and when the resolution changes, it causes Windows to rearrange the icons on the desktop, too. If this is the case, first of all check for updates to your video card driver, and install a new version, if available.
Keep in mind that you may need to search the web site of the company that manufactured your video card for the latest driver for your specific model. If updating the driver does not solve the problem, try tweaking the video card settings, such as changing its resolution or the display mode. Good luck! Finally, if Windows keeps rearranging the desktop icons no matter what you try, you may want to install our software Icon Shepherd.
It memorizes the positions of the desktop icons and keeps track of them when you move the icons around, creating snapshots of the icons after each change. When Windows messes up your icons, you can use the Icon Shepherd icon next to the system clock to restore a previously saved layout of the icons, and return them to their proper places. After that click and empty space on your desktop, right click and refresh 3 x.
To test this solution, I opened a image bank website and tried to save any image. Save as… in my desktop just to test and ok! None of the icons changed their place, like before. The image was saved a available space. No iconed moved this time. Ok I usually download files on desktop and then move to specific folders in C drive. My desktop has only software icons and two folders, but everytime I saved any file I download it was placed on the top left corner of the desktop..
After these solutions above it is ok now. No app, no new fix software to install. I've found no pattern or event that might cause this -- but it's very annoying!

Mert [Turkey didn't personally try it, but from what i can read, this won't affect desktop icon arrangement at all. I'm using Win7 Ultimate x Same problem ever since the fresh install.
For me, the problem occurs not only when a reboot happens. It has nothing to do with anything suggested above, except for the third part programs, which I'm more than reluctant to try.
Up til now, still no solution from MS yet. Wednesday, February 10, AM. We ran into this same problem on our new Windows 7 Pro bit workstations. I believe the bug lies in the way each icon is differentiated from one another. It looks like the icon id's are only recognized by the first few characters in the name.
The only icons that moved for us were similarly named icons. It looks like in the original post the "Wedding To-Do. The operating system tries to set these in the same position coordinates but can't because one is already in place.
Naturally the other icon just gets placed in another position. The workaround for us was to rename one of the similarly named icons. Hope this helps, JZeman. Monday, February 15, PM.
And since vista now has the same issue where as it didn't before I am going to assume that the problem lies with microsoft and one of there updates J. Green Bay Wi. Friday, March 19, PM.

Hold shift key, select restart, hold shift key until desktop loaded. You will need to do this each time you add more icons to your desktop. Thursday, September 29, PM. Keep it pressed while you type your password too Monday, October 3, PM.
