  5. If I click on the icons with the "Align to grid" command, they immediately jump back up into a horizontal row, it is possible that the icons on the Windows 11 desktop are left-aligned and arranged vertically, the icons are always automatically arranged horizontally at the top when starting, what am I doing wrong?

Is there an easier way of doing this?
  11. The Windows 11, 10, ... desktop icons are not restored after Windows update, why? Desktop OK has not worked for 2 days. After the laborious process of tidying it up, the next time you restart it, it will be gone again. Is it due to the outdated version 8.0.8 or is Windows 10/11 to blame?
  12. Windows 10/11 desktop icons reset to the wrong position, and then problems with the Windows updates, I'm not sure, but I suspect the last update is causing bugs, I also noticed that booting takes longer.
