Hello,

Following the restart of my PC (due to Tomb Raider crashing), all the icons on the main screen shifted upwards and I lost quite a few (I hope that's clear :/ )
The secondary screen had absolutely no issues

Is it possible to recover them? Or delete them (it stresses me out to know there are untouchable icons)

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Try to perform a system restore to a date prior to the detection of this issue.
Best regards.

Hi,

I just did it, but it didn't work...
(and since high school, it recalibrates every now and then without me asking it to (but the icons are still in place on this one...))

Anyway, it didn't work, but it was a good try.

You have 2 screens, 1 main and 1 secondary
What kind of screen?
1° try swapping them by right-clicking on the desktop then Settings tab.
Your 2 screens appear as squares (or rectangles depending on their format), Click on 2 then at the bottom, check the box " Use this device as the primary monitor"
Then click OK. Check the result.

Finally, repeat the reverse operation:
Right-click on the desktop then the Settings tab.
Your 2 screens appear as squares (or rectangles depending on their format), click on 2 then at the bottom, check the box " Use this device as the primary monitor"
Sincerely.

Thank you, it helped me put a few of them back in place by realigning them on the grid (and by working through the workstation, I managed to put everything back by deleting them one by one and putting them back (through the mess of images on my desktop ;/ )
By the way, does not aligning them on the grid make a difference?

I don’t know,
As for me, I don’t display any icons on my desktop. I think it looks “messy” and others, who look over my shoulder, don’t need to know what’s on my computer.
The icons I use most often are pinned to the taskbar at the bottom, which only appears when I move the mouse cursor down to the bottom of the screen.
Conclusion: I have a desktop with just a nice image, unspoiled by all those icons.
If I need icons that are hidden, all I have to do is click on the >> sign that is located on the taskbar.
