I've been using DF for 10 years. Love it and I haven't had to use tech support for years, but starting within the last 2-3 weeks upon loading DF rearranges my desktop icons. Although I can have DF load a desktop icon profile this is a workaround. DF rearranges to the same positioning every time and I note that all of the icons are on monitor 2 which is set as primary. Prior to this issue I had no desktop icon profiles at all so I don't where it's pulling this icon positioning from.

I have an HP Envy desktop with Win 10 Pro version 10.18362.778. I have added no new apps but I'm thinking this started with the Windows update that was applied in late March. At least the timing seems about right.

Again, I've been using DF for a decade and this has never been an issue, but it is now.

No. I had seen that in posts from a couple of years ago, it doesn't matter where they are, they are replaced in the same spot every time and it's no arrangement that I've ever used

I wanted to resuscitate this thread as I'm having the same issue. On the latest (2004) Windows 10 and latest (9.7.1 Beta 2) DisplayFusion. I have dual monitor setup with taskbars on each, with different pinned icons on each taskbar. I keep one set of desktop icons on the left monitor and another set on the right monitor. Both monitors are Acer 27" in 1080p mode. Every time I reboot, some icons from the right (#2) monitor move to the left (#1) to fill up the remaining desktop space. I can restore the icon profile and back to normal, but then when I refresh the screen (right-click > refresh) they go back to crammed into the left monitor. Any resolution?

keith, somehow I missed your reply back in April. The problem still exists. I got around it by creating a desktop icon profile, but I've added several icons over the past few months and, of course, have to redo the icon profile each time. not a show stopper but am annoying pain nonetheless. attached is my info file.

I tested again today. I deleted the icon profile. move a couple icons to the secondary monitor. rebooted. when Windows loads the icons are in their proper place on both monitors. But just when the taskbar appears on my second monitor, the two icons jump back to the primary monitor and the recyle bin icon on the primary monitor also move a few inches to the right. Not that there is no problem with the taskbars. i'm talking about icons on the desktop.

That is strange! I think this may be a Windows issue after all. I exited DF, refreshed and the icons smashed to the left screen. When I opened DF, they automatically went back as if I'd loaded the icon profile. This has only happened since the awful 2004 build of Windows was installed. Any indication of what it may be?

in my casee exiting DF does NOT move the icons back. they stay on the secondary monitor where I manually moved them. Start DF and they are moved back to the primary.

Strangely it seems to be back to normal now. Not sure at all what changed, maybe the latest beta? When I boot up all the icons are where they should be now.

no changes here. mine is still rearranging

sorry it's been so long. In addition to the two screen shots I was able to do a screen capture video showing the icons jumping back and forth when starting and exiting display fusion

sorry it's been so long. two files attached. one before DF loads, one after. as mentioned before I'm getting along by using the desktop icon profile. but that is a workaround that shouldn't, and didn't used to be required.

I sent the trouble shooting info to you back on July 29th, but here it is again.

file attached and now another issue presented itself. When this all started the workaround was to create a desktop icon profile. while trouble shooting this issue I had deleted it for testing. I created it again and now, although it works, it doesn't load upon startup so I have to manually load it each time....

Keith, finally getting to the bottom of it. I already had the icons set to "align with grid". But what I discovered was that DF moves the icons on both monitors down slightly when loading. I'd estimate about 1/4 of the grid size. If I move the icons to the next grid up, the icons stay still. it seems like when they are set at the bottom grid line when DF tries to move them down it can't so it shifts them to the other monitor. A small quirk but now that I know what the issue is, I'll change my layout slightly to accomodate.
