我们中的许多人拥有大量桌面图标(Desktop icons)，会将它们设置在Windows 桌面(Windows desktop)上的各种首选位置。比如右下角(right corner)的日常需要的文件夹或者右上角的(right corner)关键excel和word文件(excel and word files)。随着时间的推移，添加了更多桌面图标，我们习惯了它们的默认位置(default placement)。有时，您的桌面(Desktop)图标会自行重新排列，您将很难记住(trouble remembering)并将它们重新排列回原来的位置。这是由于自动排列功能(Auto Arrange feature)。我们为您带来了一份有用的指南，将教您如何修复桌面上的图标(Desktop)并禁用桌面(Desktop)图标自动排列(auto arrange)。
如何修复 Windows 10 桌面上的图标(How to Fix Icons on Windows 10 Desktop)
Windows 10无法记住桌面(Desktop)图标的位置。如果您的图标放在桌面的不同部分，但当您重新启动 PC 时，它们会自动重组为某种预设格式(preset format)。因此，您将遇到桌面(Desktop)图标在Windows 10中重新排列的问题。
我们建议您创建(create a backup)桌面图标(desktop icon)位置的备份，以便在它们再次被打乱时可以恢复它们。您可以使用任何受信任的第三方应用程序来执行此操作。
为什么我的桌面图标会乱序排列？(Why are My Desktop Icons Shuffled?)
- 当您更改屏幕分辨率(change screen resolutions)（尤其是在玩游戏时）然后重新调整以前的分辨率时，Windows会自动重新定位图标。
- 添加新的辅助监视器(adding a new secondary monitor)时也可能发生这种情况。
- 当您添加一个新的桌面图标(add a new desktop icon)时，它可能会导致图标重新排列并按照名称或日期的顺序(Name or Date order)组织起来。
- 如果您有离开办公桌时关闭显示器(turning off your display)的习惯，重新打开屏幕会导致桌面图标重新组织。
- 这通常发生在 Windows 10 中的 Explorer.exe 进程(Explorer.exe process in Windows 10) 重新启动(restarts)时。
- 也有可能是显卡工作不正常(video card is not working properly)。由于显卡驱动程序(video card driver)有缺陷，屏幕分辨率可能会随机更改。当屏幕分辨率(screen resolution)改变时，桌面上的所有图标都会混合。
方法一：禁用桌面图标自动排列(Method 1: Disable Desktop Icons Auto Arrange)
您可以通过将图标拖动到所需位置来修改它们。但最准确的方法是禁用自动排列(Auto arrange)图标功能，如下：
1. 右键单击桌面(Desktop)上的空白区域(empty space)。
2. 将鼠标悬停在查看(View)选项上。
3. 现在，取消选中以下选项(options)。
- 自动排列图标(Auto arrange icons)
- 将图标与网格对齐(Align icons to grid)
注意：(Note: )仅当您在桌面背景(desktop background)上保留快捷方式图标时，这些选项才可用。
一旦您将图标放置在您想要的位置，您的桌面图标重新排列问题就会得到解决。
