Windows 10 tips and tricks How to align desktop icons where you want them and stop auto align featur

How to stop auto align feature in Windows 10 and have icons align where you want on the desktop

[@bajlozi6873]

If your icons go back to where they were previously, then do this. Go into Settings - Personalizations - Themes- Desktop Icons Settings. If the box is checked " Allow themes to change desktop icons ", uncheck, hit apply. Hope this helps.

@@cindysuitor1897 Combine the video information, and this comments information, then customize the icon (move it around to where you want,). Another thing is that disabling "snap to grid" may actually be a a bad thing so keep that on, but that is optional, if it works.

[@TewPaqs]

Thank you! My icons were weirdly not properly aligned to the grid when I moved them around so now I understand it somehow was turned off!

[@Vangpoyiadjis]

i was searching for the first shortcut of the video to remove it for 1 hour and i found your video and you saved me!

[@janetjustice3108]

Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@kristofersigmarsson]

thank you. helped me fix it in 21 sec of watching this video 😄

[@warwicklambert33]

Thanks! Great tip....just what I was looking for as my computer just went "auto align" and messed me up. I checked through 3 tutorials which were not in the least bit addressing this issue....then you came a long. Clear and concise.

[@who4it]

I've understood this but when I rearrange my icons where I want them, whenever I restart my computer they go back to where they were previously. I even did a refresh. What's up with that?

[@OfSpeed]

ive been having the same issue. have you gotten it fixed yet?

[@bajlozi6873]

Go into " settings-Personalizations-Themes- Desktop Icons Settings. If the box is checked " Allow themes to change desktop icons ", uncheck, hit apply. Hope this helps.

[@artisticboundaries]

I thin this is a bug that happens in Windows 10 (not the home vers.) but doesn't happen in Windows 10 Home. I didn't have this problem until I reinstalled Windows and used the non home version. It is driving me nuts!!!!

[@buduci]

But what if my desktop pictures are not previewing in the row I placed them on desktop?For example there are pictures named 1,2,3,4 etc. in a horizontal row,and then I click number one and it opens it normally,but when i then click to move to the next picture in row (it should be picture 2),it moves to number 4 for example,so there is no order in previewing that I wanted and arranged on desktop...How to fix that?

[@sauravmisraz]

you are a saviour, had to format my pc recently, and since then i was trying to fix.

[@stevkoul]

I had a problem , using 2 users windows messed up the positions of my shortcuts but disabling the icon grid it fixed the problem, thank u :)

[@natefidalgo7625]

Curious came across your video. Was talking to a guy that had a problem he wanted to position the icons in random place on his desktop. But make them fix so they lock/dont move /cannt be dragged /stay fix to the position they where initially placed at. Is there a registry key or a windows settings for locking a icon at a particular spot onced moved there/decide that its the final destination they want the icon at???

[@Open_Minded_9]

That is so simple but your video was helpful for me. Thanks 👍

[@WinsantStore]

Excellent

[@mrslordi92]

Yeah except when I select multiple icons in a rectangle (to put them horizontally) it keeps rearranging them the most vertically possible. Like if I select and move a group of icons from different "cases" they're now all in the same straight vertical line. What can I do ? I've been searching on the internet for hours and no one talks about this. Please help.

[@sapyproducts]

This video was very helpful! I was able to arrange my icons the way I needed them. However, my laptop automatically auto arranged and aligned icons to grid after I re started my laptop, so I am now back to square one. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Thank you!

[@Itzxwar]

THX MAN! IT'S REALLY HELP ME

[@AyoSenpaii]
