Windows 11 Desktop icons rearrange and re-sort themselves

Maybe that's why to just fix misbehaviors they included a "Restore Windows" option. Today I was compelled to use it. Fortunately restoring doesn't touch my programs.

just format your drive removing windows 11 completely & install windows 10.

windows 11 just has 1000's of issues and it's just not worth using at all in any capacity.

1.) deleing downloads randomly without warning.

2.) disabling antivirus/protections to prevent auto deleting files (not working)

3.) rearranging icons on desktop every time something is downloaded.

4.) cant open start and type anything without searching the web for something thats installed on my system that it should be launching.

5.) widgets are worthless, i still use gadgets they work perfectly & there is no security issues encountered in like 10yrs of using them. (microsoft lying to force people into something they don't need that is worse functionality & potentially forcing a pay wall on customers, all being done by leveraging social engineering towards low i.q. people [no offence people])

6.) cant use minecraft i paid for on the microsoft store for many years now to the point i gave up trying & just use a 3rd party minecraft client...

7.) why did they even put an editor in the file viewer? just put a link to open in paint/edit in paint....

8.) right-click context menu now adds and extra click to find options that used to be on right-click context reducing speed of multi-tasking.

9.) pictures in right-click context menu i cant tell most the time which is copy or paste??? i keep completely screwing myself over trying to use these "useless icons"

10.) changing custom image of a folder to a different system image doesn't apply the new folder icon after the first folder icon change.

11.) alot of programs that still don't support windows 11 that i need to use, so im constantly having to test them on windows 10 after trying on windows 11 (not working).

12.) i've gotten to the point i just cant use windows 11, i have to basically do everything on windows 10.

13.) had msi's a.i completely wreak havoc with windows 11 to the point i had to completely disable it to be able to multi-task.

14.) microsoft has started forcing people to pay for most of the functions in programs inside older operating systems that where usable as a completely free program. (get bent over, hope you brought lube!)

15.) not to mention the issues with the usb system mis-registering key inputs randomly, this also happens on bluetooth but less frequently, also inputs sometimes are just randomly not being seen sometimes when key's are being pressed (not just wrong key but litterally no input passthrough about 5-10% of the time)

16.) i could sit here all day continueing to give reasons... but i have better things todo with my time. like writting programs in java, working on a minecraft server, writting .gadget file to create a new windows 7 sidebar gadget for windows 7/8/8.1/10 (maby i should pull a microsoft and force windows 11 users to pay to use it? oh wait im not corrupt)

edit: all of these issues are out of the box brand new $1200 laptop with windows 11 home.... flaming pile of garbage bc of windows 11 operating system.

Even AI can't resolve this problem. This is because machines can't do nothing against human stupidity. Windows 11 is as terrible as years ago Windows 10 was. I'm glad I could upgrade for free but I'm thinking to go back to 10 until they fix all the bugs AND the terrible layout. Microsoft LISTEN what users are saying!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like your IT department is doing its best to mitigate the effect of this annoying bug. On my Windows 11 machine, the issue continues to occur in about 30% of power-ups, and my work-around of deleting the IconCache files and restarting restores the icons 100% of the time. As I offered earlier, I have saved copies of the IconCache file before and after a scatter event and would be happy to provide them to Microsoft.

Derrick,

Why isn't there a quick fix for something like rearranging problem? Isn't this supposed to be one of the easiest fix you should already have for everyone who is having this stupid issue? I mean come on! Why is this supposed to be so complicated to fix this 1 basic function that we all shouldn't have problem with in the first place?

This is ridiculous!
