    Desktop Icon Setting not saved after Windows Update


    Hi.. Guys..

    Recently my PC just started to have some weird problem.
    Everytime after I restarted my PC or just restarted explorer.exe,
    my desktop icon reset from small size to medium and sorting
    order also reset. Besides I also noticed that in every folder
    view settings also reset.

    The reason why I suspected it caused by one of the updates
    because I just formatted my PC. Everything was normal in
    the beginning but after I updated the windows. The exact problem
    came back.

    Do you guys have any idea which update may be causing this?

    Thank you so much.... but it did not solve my problem.

    The desktop icons still kept returning to medium size and
    re-arranged everytime I restarted my PC or restarted explorer.exe.

    I'm trying to uninstall the update one-by-one to see whether which
    one causing this problem.

    Hi!

    I got the same thing. After you kill "explorer.exe" the desktop layout resets to standard.

    Hope it will be fixed in next update!
