Autoarrange icons issue

G0rg0ne · Aug 14, 2015

After I made update to first cumulative update (KB3081424) my desktop icons autoarange to the left side of dektop. I can rearrange how I wont but if I click "refresh" or reboot icons migrate again to the left. "Auto arrange icons", "Align icons to grid" and "Allow themes to change desktop icons" are uncheck. The sort option is strange too, if I select "Name" for example, the order is everything else except alphabetical order, and after a reboot all icons go again to same order in same position, over and over again. I can't find any solution and it seem I'm not the only one with this problem.

Unfortunately, the only absolute fix for this that I have found is to reinstall Windows.

Since W10 is relatively very new, you may want to do just that before much more time passes and program installs, etc... occur.

Is your computer part of a Domain?

I have had issues similar to this in the past with my work laptop where everytime I reconnect to the network(restart or otherwise) it resets my desktop

Thank's for replayings.
@icgriff2 : Unfortunately I think you have right. I didn't find other solution anywhere, only this drastic one: reinstalling Windows. The problem is I want to avoid this becouse my Windows is an upgrade, not a clean install, so all aplications from 8.1 version are transfered to W10. And a second problem may be, how can I be shure that this problem not apear again when I make Windows updates?
@Laxer: nope, my computer is not part of a domain

You can't be sure.

Be sure to run SFC and SFCFix.

From an Admin CMD Prompt -

Code:

sfc /scannow

If SFC does not come back clean, please see - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/4736-windows-update-forum-posting-instructions.html

Ok, than's. In the last days I run scannow about 2 or3 times. None of them was clear. So, today, soon I have a little time I will make a new one and I will do what you suggested.
Have a nice day.
