如果您无法或无法在Windows 11/10中移动桌面图标，那么这篇文章一定会对您有所帮助。在这篇文章中，我们将展示如何解决这个问题。像许多用户一样，您可能也遇到过这样的问题，即当您将一些桌面图标或快捷方式从一个地方拖放到另一个地方时，这些图标不会移动并弹回其原始位置，Windows 会自动排列桌面图标^{(Windows automatically arranges desktop icons)}.

无法在Windows 11/10

您可以尝试解决以下问题：

1. 测试鼠标或触摸板
2. 取消选中自动排列图标
3. 卸载任何桌面管理器软件
4. 重置文件夹选项
5. 更改显示分辨率
6. ^(Set)为文本、应用程序等设置缩放大小
7. 更改桌面图标大小
8. 使用注册表更改图标间距
9. 关闭允许^(Allow)主题更改桌面图标
10. 更新图形驱动程序。

1]测试鼠标或触摸板

此基本测试有助于检查您的鼠标或笔记本电脑触摸板是否工作正常。您将能够找到鼠标左键和右键以及中键单击或滚轮是否正常工作。

打开记事本^(Notepad)，然后写一些文字。之后，使用鼠标左键选择该文本，然后右键单击以检查您是否能够打开右键单击上下文菜单。您还可以上下滚动以测试鼠标滚轮。如果所有按钮都正常工作，则您的鼠标或触摸板正常。否则^(Otherwise)，您应该更换鼠标。

2]取消选中自动排列图标

这是Windows^(Windows)用户无法移动桌面图标时出现错误的最可能原因。打开自动排列选项后，只要您尝试更改图标的位置，图标就会自动移动到它们的位置。您可以使用以下步骤将其关闭：

1. 右键单击^{(Right-click)}桌面的空白区域
2. 访问查看^(View)菜单
3. 取消选中上下文菜单中的自动排列图标^{(Auto arrange icons)}选项。

这应该可以解决您的问题。

3]  卸载^(Uninstall)任何桌面管理器软件

如果您安装了一些第三方软件来组织桌面快捷方式和图标，那么这可能是您无法在Windows 10中移动桌面上的图标的原因。因此，您应该卸载该软件并重新启动 PC 以检查问题是否已解决。

Win+I热键打开设置应用程序并访问应用程序和功能^{(Apps & features)}部分以查找和卸载此类程序。

4]重置文件夹选项

对于许多用户来说，这种方法也有助于解决这个问题。您需要做的是将文件夹选项重置为默认模式。为此，请使用以下步骤：

1. 使用Win+E热键打开这台电脑^{(This PC)}
2. 访问查看^(View)菜单并单击选项^(Options)
3. 在文件夹选项框的^{(Folder Options)}常规^(General)选项卡中，单击恢复默认值^{(Restore Defaults)}
4. 在文件夹选项的^{(Folder Options)}查看^(View)选项卡中，单击重置文件夹^{(Reset Folders)}按钮
5. 按应用^(Apply)和确定^(OK)按钮保存更改。

5]更改显示分辨率

去做这个：

1. 打开Windows 11设置
2. 点击系统设置
3. 从右侧选择显示
4. 向下滚动^(Scroll)直到看到显示^(Display)分辨率
5. 从下拉列表中选择所需的屏幕分辨率。

Windows 10用户？

访问设置应用程序（Win+I），进入系统^(System)类别并打开显示^(Display)页面。在那里您将能够更改显示分辨率^{(change the display resolution)}。将分辨率设置为推荐大小。

6]设置^(Set)文本、应用程序等的缩放大小。

（视窗 11）

更改文本、应用程序和其他内容的缩放大小也可能有助于解决此问题。打开设置^(Settings)应用程序并访问显示^(Display)页面。在右侧，将文本、应用程序等的缩放设置为 100%（推荐）大小。

如果桌面图标使用推荐的缩放比例没有移动，那么您可以设置自定义缩放比例^{(set custom scaling)}。为此，单击高级缩放设置^{(Advanced scaling settings)}选项并输入 100%-500% 之间的自定义缩放大小。

在Windows 10中，设置在这里-

和这里-

应用设置、注销并再次登录到您的 Windows 10 PC 以查看更改。

7]更改桌面图标大小

如果桌面上有很多图标，并且它们的大小设置为大，那么这些桌面图标会覆盖整个桌面。在这种情况下，您无法移动桌面图标。因此，只需将它们的大小更改为medium或small。为此，右键单击桌面的空白区域，然后访问查看^(View)菜单以更改大小。

8]使用注册表更改^(Change)图标间距

如果桌面图标之间的间距设置过大，那么图标也不会移动。对于这种情况，您需要使用注册表编辑器^{(Registry Editor)}来更改桌面快捷方式的图标大小。由于它是注册表^(Registry)调整，因此您应该创建系统还原点或备份注册表^{(backup Registry)}以克服不需要的更改。

打开注册表编辑器，然后访问WindowMetrics键。路径是：

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

在右侧部分，双击IconSpacing字符串值。记下默认值数据（即-1128），以便以后使用。现在输入-2730到 480 之间的任何值。值越高，图标间距越大。设置^(Set)数值数据并保存。

现在重新启动您的 PC 以应用更改。您可能需要多次更改值，直到获得正确的桌面图标间距。

9]关闭^(Turn)允许主题更改桌面图标

您的 Windows 10 PC 上安装的某些主题可能会导致您无法移动桌面图标的问题。因此，您应该 通过访问Desktop Icon Settings来^{(Desktop Icon Settings)}防止主题更改桌面图标。

这是它在 Windows 10 中的外观：

10]更新图形驱动程序

如果您的图形驱动程序已过时，这也可能导致桌面图标不移动的问题。因此，您应该更新可能解决此问题的显卡驱动程序。^{(update Graphics Drivers)}

这些是帮助用户解决此问题的选项。希望^(Hope)这些修复中的一些也会对您有所帮助。

Can’t move desktop icons in Windows 11/10

Here are a few things you could try to resolve the issue:

1. Test the mouse or touchpad
2. Uncheck Auto arrange icons
3. Uninstall any desktop organizer software
4. Reset Folder Options
5. Change Display Resolution
6. Set scaling size for text, apps, etc
7. Change desktop icon size
8. Change icon spacing using Registry
9. Turn off Allow themes to change desktop icons
10. Update Graphics Driver.

1] Test mouse or touchpad

This basic test is helpful to check if your mouse or laptop touchpad is working fine. You will be able to find if the left and right mouse buttons and middle-click or scroll wheel is working or not.

Open Notepad and then write some text. After that, select that text using the left mouse button, and do a right-click to check if you’re able to open right-click context menus. You can also scroll up and down to test your mouse wheel. If all the buttons are working, your mouse or touchpad is OK. Otherwise, you should change your mouse.

2] Uncheck Auto arrange icons

This is the most likely reason behind the error when Windows users are not able to move desktop icons. When the auto-arrange option is turned on, the icons are moved to their positions automatically as soon as you try to change their positions. You can turn it off using the following steps:

1. Right-click on an empty area of the desktop
2. Access View menu
3. Uncheck Auto arrange icons option in the context menu.

This should solve your problem.

3]  Uninstall any desktop organizer software

If you have installed some third-party software to organize desktop shortcuts and icons, then that might be the reason that you can’t move icons on the desktop in Windows 10. So, you should uninstall that software and reboot your PC to check if the problem is solved.

Open Settings app using Win+I hotkey and access Apps & features section to find and uninstall such a program.

4] Reset Folder Options

This method is also helpful to solve this issue for many users. What you need to do is reset Folder options to default mode. For that, use these steps:

1. Open This PC using Win+E hotkey
2. Access View menu and click on Options
3. In the General tab of the Folder Options box, click on Restore Defaults
4. In the View tab of Folder Options, click on the Reset Folders button
5. Press Apply and OK buttons to save the changes.

5] Change Display Resolution

To do this:

1. Open Windows 11 Settings
2. Click on System settings
3. Select Display from the right side
4. Scroll down till you see Display resolution
5. From the drop-down select the screen resolution you want.

Windows 10 user?

Access Settings app (Win+I), go to System category and open Display page. There you will be able to change the display resolution. Set the resolution to the recommended size.

6] Set scaling size for text, apps, etc.

(Windows 11)

Changing the scaling size for text, apps, and other things might also help in fixing this issue. Open the Settings app and access the Display page. On the right-hand part, set scaling to 100% (Recommended) size for text, apps, etc.

If desktop icons not moving using the recommended scaling, then you can set custom scaling. For that, click on the Advanced scaling settings option and enter a custom scaling size between 100%-500%.

In Windows 10 the Settings are here-

And here-

Apply the settings, sign out, and sign in again to your Windows 10 PC to see the change.

7] Change desktop icon size

If there are a lot of icons on the desktop and their size is set to large, then those desktop icons cover the entire desktop. In that case, you are not able to move desktop icons. So, simply change their size to medium or small. For this, right-click on the empty area of the desktop, and access the View menu to change the size.

8] Change icon spacing using Registry

If there is too much spacing set between desktop icons, then also icons won’t move. For such a case, you need to use Registry Editor to change icon size for desktop shortcuts. As it is a Registry tweak, you should create a system restore point or backup Registry to overcome unwanted changes.

Open Registry Editor and then access the WindowMetrics key. The path is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

On the right section, double-click on the IconSpacing string value. Note down the default value data (which is -1128) so that you can use it later. Now enter any value between -2730 and 480. The higher the value, the larger will be icon spacing. Set value data and save it.

Now restart your PC to apply the changes. You might need to change values multiple times until you get the correct spacing for your desktop icons.

9] Turn off allow themes to change desktop icons

It might be possible that some theme installed on your Windows 10 PC is causing the trouble that you are not able to move desktop icons. So, you should prevent themes from changing desktop icons by accessing Desktop Icon Settings.

This is how it looks in Windows 10:

10] Update Graphics Driver

If your Graphics Drivers are outdated, this can also cause the problem that desktop icons are not moving. So, you should update Graphics Drivers that might solve this problem.

These are the options that have helped users to fix this problem. Hope some of these fixes will help you too.
