    My desktop icons move to a grid on the left for no reason

    Hello,

    If your icons are aligned to a grid, this means that the settings of your desktop are currently auto arranged and automatically aligned. Since you want to rearrange your desktop icons on however you like them, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Right-click at a blank area on your desktop.
    • Hover on View.
    • In the right pane, look for Auto arrange icons. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.
    • Hover again on View.
    • This time, look for Align icons to grid. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.

    After doing these steps, you'll be able to rearrange all your desktop icons again on how you want it.

    Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance, feel free to post back.

    desktop grid lines

    Hi,

    If you accidentally align to grid your desktop icons, then you can quickly undo this to restore your previous desktop icons. You just have to right click or press and hold on your desktop (Shift+F10), click/tap on View, and click/tap on Align icons to grid
    to check (on - default) or uncheck (off) it.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.
