    Floating Desktop Icon


    Ever since the installation of Win10 Build 18936 prerelease 190705-1333 I have an icon(This PC) on the upper left-hand corner of the desktop that moves from its spot after every reboot. I have changed the icon, move it manually and deleted and reinstalled. It is a Windows Insider problem I think.
    Now I'll admit this is not a major problem but I would classify it under "annoying level 2".
    As always all help is appreciated.

    Generally such icons do not move on their own, but if you have set File Explorer to show hidden items and system files you'll have two desktop.ini icons on your desktop. These do have a habit of moving unexpectedly after a restart, even in non-insider builds, pushing around the regular icons to make space for themselves.

    Try moving the desktop.ini icons well away from the rest and see if they'll behave themselves
