We have a guide on working with Desktop Icon Profiles here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Help/#settings-desktopiconprofiles ]]> Desktop icons displaced at boot up if one of three monitors is not powered on. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-displaced-at-boot-up-if-one-of-three-monitors-is-not-powered-on/?ID=019acc50-09f2-737a-afb5-2fa4daa0da00 Fri, 28 Nov 2025 21:13:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-displaced-at-boot-up-if-one-of-three-monitors-is-not-powered-on/?ID=019acc50-09f2-737a-afb5-2fa4daa0da00 DisplayFusion I'm running Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.7171 and DisplayFusion Pro 11.1.1
I have two Dell monitors (one DP, one DVI-D) and a Samsung TV (HDMI) connected to PC.
The DVI-D monitor is my main screen.
Normally I boot up with only the Dell monitors powered on.
Occasionally the desktop icons are displaced with some appearing on monitor two.
This can sometimes be fixed by powering up the Samsung TV, but sometimes I have to reload the Desktop Icon Profile.

Is there any way to permanently fix this? ]]>
