Can't move shortcut icons on my desktop to different locations on the desktop

Do a right click on the desktop; select 'View'; uncheck the box marked 'Automatically Arrange Icons'.  

Appreciate the thought, but that was the first thing I tried almost two months ago. My issue as does many with Windows 10 still exists with no response(s) to date that has acquired a solution.

Okay i have the same problem no thing worked not the ESC key or whatever, so i slid my hand throught the keyboard keys and woah, magically it worked again, so its probably some stuck keyboard key problem.

Keith I appreciate your comment, but unfortunately after hitting the escape key a stuck or keyboard issue was my next investigation. Unfortunately nothing on the forum has helped my issue, nor with the other five Windows 10 anomalies I face have any suggestions resolved the quirks I now face. I wish MICROSOFT WOULD TALK WITH ME DIRECTLY. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY LAPTOP OPERATING WITHOUT THE SIX ISSUES I FACE SINCE WINDOWS 10 ENTERED MY LIFE.

Thanks again.

Thanks for this is, it saved me a lot of time as it was the first solution I found.

Again, many thanks, I'll pass it along giving you credit.
