Since months Windows 11 (and before that Windows 10 - for years) always rearranges my entire desktop whenever I move an icon on it. By now I have installed two different tools (DesktopOK and Iconoid) to snapshot my desktop when it's OK and allow to get my desktop back to normal after such an action, but I would be interested: Why the f^*%# is Windows doing this at all? Why is it rearranging my icons again and again and again? Which sick mind came up with the idea that users could possibly want their desktop constantly rearranged? And why is MS not asking their Co-Pilot at least for once to do something useful and fix this bug? I read that they claim that 30+% of their SW is already written by AI (and boy - this OS definitely feels like so!).
I have switched off every setting that I found when googling for this bug (auto-arrange icons, align-to-grid, etc. etc.), so I am not seeking for advice (anymore) how to fix this annoyance once it happened. I am simply trying to understand: how could anyone come up with the idea for this behavior and how come that the company's quality control (at least they claim they have one) never pinpointed this behavior and requested this to be fixed?
