How do I stop renamed files from moving to upper left corner

Anonymous

A few months ago I switched to a new laptop, then immediately downloaded windows upgrade on it, so I don't know which factor causes this. But ever since, every time I rename a file on the desktop, windows immediately moves the file to the upper left corner of the screen, or the nearest open space to this point. This is confusing when I'm trying to keep track of and arrange my desktop files in some other way, and I have to keep moving the file back to where I want it.

I found a workaround for this issue. It is to turn off the following personal setting functions of Windows 11.

[Show recently opened items in Start, Jump List and File Explorer]

However, those who relied on this feature will have to decide which one to choose.

--How to set--

Select Personalization from Windows11 Settings menu

Select [Start]

Turn off [Show recently opened items in Start, Jump List and File Explorer]
