Windows 10 desktop icon positions are not saved [SOLVED BUG]
Do we have any computer gurus here?
System Specs:
Win 10x64 Ent
Nvidia GTX 970 -355.98
Problem:
My desktop icons are reset to the default left side position of desktop at every startup/restart. I have googled the problem for a while and found out the following:
- Yes, I did a full system scan with Nod32, but I do not remember when this problem started to accur.
- I tried installing the DesktopOk and when I click on save icons layout the icons are saved with the default alignment to the left. As if there is some sort of a default file loaded in the memory that keeps my icons to the left.
- My auto align option is not checked
- I did a clean video driver re-install using 3dGuru drive sweeper
- I tried the rebuild icon cache script
- Clicking Refresh after I place icons to where I want them does not help
Why my icons are predetermined to be on the left side. For example, the key icon i am following is the Recycle Bin. Right now its position is set to the Upper Left corner. Even if I move it and then save with DesktopOk, it moves to the upper left corner by itself during the save.
I am trying another utility right now:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-windows-vista/
It works on Win 10. I wonder if there is possibility of creating a .bat file, which will run at every startup, that will run this software's Restore Icons option by itself?-
I am pretty much out of options here.
Can anyone help me with this problem? And I know about the clean install option , but I don't want to do that.
