    I suggest you post a screenshot of
    1 your Desktop folder as shown by File explorer - probably at C:\Users\%UserName%\Desktop
    2 thePublic Desktop folder as shown by File explorer - at C:\Users\Public\Desktop

    Toggle auto arrange on and off to see if that may help.

    Any chance this is caused by one of your many programs installed. I see one icon program and a bunch of stuff I don't recognize.

    When did this start?

    What changes were made around this time, in particular programs you were installing.

    Do you have a system Image or a restore point that you could use that was created before this occurred.


    Could you clean boot, not install, and tell us if you see the same results.

    I'm holding fire until we see the File manager screenshot I suggested. Only then will we be able to see what is missing.

    Missed that. Good idea.

    That said I notice that most of my icons to programs show up on the Public\desktop and not in my user profile desktop

    The regedit option is the one that'll fix this issue. I set my iconspacing to -2780 as well as IconVerticalSpacing -2780 and my icons came out just like the OP. I reset both to -1125 and my icons returned to normal. I hope its OK I did a little video for a visual.
