Resolved Desktop icons failure.

I set my Windows 10 Desktop Icons to my requirements, however without warning, Icons reposition vertically to the left hand side of the screen. What is causing this error. Thanks, Bobby.

 

Hi PeteC, a Happy New Year to you. I have noted your response for future reference and also carried out instructions. Thank you, Bobby.

 

I have had the same problem since the last windows update the icons every so often line up on the left hand side of the screen and no matter what I do it still keeps happening so I have installed desktop restore and use that to put the icons back where they belong

 

Problem was corrected for a few days, however today Desktop Icons were displayed on the left hand of screen (Vertical). Again it requires to be repositioned as wanted manually. What can be causing this? Bobby.

 

Pete C, when I click [Desktop icons rearrange and move........], it opens but Malwarebytes that is installed on my computer, which in turn disallows my opening the above. It appears that Malwarebytes classes it as unsafe. I only have at present 22 Desktop Icons and if correct these icons can slow up computer start up.

 

What version of Malwarebytes are you running? Free or Premium?
Do you have Exclusions in operation in Settings?
Do other links open OK?

Have Malwarebytes Premium for the past five years+ that never expires. Exclusion requires a Web address or Net code. In present post, what is needed? I have never or needed Bitcoin.

 

Were you able to open the link I Posted or did MBAM block it?

 

Sorry, yes now able to open Bitcoin link.

 

My link opens OK but Pete's Windows Club still won't?

 

I notice that at present MS IE 11 is causing trouble at times. Is MS causing this in an effort for us to switch over to Edge? probably true.

 

I have just opened the link (Windows Club) in IE without any problems.

It also opens in Edge without problems.

Now I'll go back to Firefox

 

At present IE is opening file in question without problem.

 

I've been experiencing loss of icon position intermittently over the years. A good workaround is to install this little utility called Desktop OK. It allows you to save a view of icons (keeps track of them by date), and if you lose your icon positioning, restore one of those, and they instantly rearrange to where they were.

Here is the link: DesktopOK 4.93 Save and restore the desktop icon positions.

 

Yes Desktop Icons today were reshuffled and required yet again a reposition of icons. I tried your suggestion to download a Free software to combat this error, without success..
