Approach 3: Delete Registry Keys?įor a moment there I thought this is it! Registry solutions usually work best, but not in my case. But it seems it’s not a solution for any of the problems people have at the moment since Windows 10 performed some ridiculous updates. But it might work for you, so that’s why I’m mentioning it. In my case, auto arrange was turned off anyways, so that recommendation went down the sewer. All you have to do is to position your cursor on a free space on your desktop, click right mouse button and then uncheck “Auto rearrange icons”: Even this wasn’t the solution for me neither, it seems that some people surprisingly had success with this. Lots of other “ how to keep desktop icons from moving” solutions recommend to turn of the “Auto Arrange”. This solution doesn’t work for me – either the IconCache can’t be deleted or it just comes back when the system reboots. It seems to be solution before Windows 10 updated and integrated this feature in their core operating system.
You can find the AppData folder by opening Explorer (Windows+E) and typing in %userprofile% like this:Īnd then click on AppData with your right mouse button, click “search” and search for “IconCache” (if you can’t find a “search” under your menu, solve this problem first: Search Button disappeared). It was suggested that I delete the IconCache-Files under the folder AppData. One of the suggested solutions can be found on GroovyPost. This didn’t work for me, but might work for some.
I have listed all the solutions that worked for other users, you might give them a try. I did lots of research and none of the suggested solutions worked for me. I found a solution to solve this ridiculous feature of Windows 10. Have you been recently experiencing that your desktop icons move to your second screen – such as after rebooting your pc, unplugging your second screen or similar?
