Desktop Icons move during the night?

Do you have a Nvidia Based Graphics Card by any chance?

Just asking politely, but why do you have the "This PC" icon way up there when you could have it pinned right next to the start window on the taskbar ?

No clue why your icons are moving, I`ve only seen that happen when you connect then disconnect a 2nd monitor, and it should have nothing to do with the 970, my icons stay put on 7 with my 980Ti`s

Maybe he likes looking at it, i have mine in the same location, old habit from XP
Well back to your question, i have the same problem with my Nvidia, it will do the same when ever i update My Graphics Drivers,
And i have noticed sometimes my Icons and taskbar will "reset" as if i had change Resolution, or updated anything, is annoying
I think its the definition updates for defender, which i am really tired of after each reboot i get notification Windows Defender needs to scan your computer, i know you can untick the defender in security, but i rather had MS fix the damn Defender wanting to scan after each reboot.
I prob reboot 25 times or more each day (Don't ask why i Reboot so often) but your not the only one with icons moving around each day.

I agree, I hate that Defender does that and you can`t change the scan settings, but I installed Webroot and it turns Defender off :)

Thank you for that little tip you earned a STAR, just what i had been looking for thx Ram
wtb potential Websites with C..... wont use bad words do you still get warnings,
If not well then you could just have unticked 2 boxes in security and maintenance

Just my opinion, but with all the room on the taskbar and all the icons you can pin on the start menu, I see no reason for any icons on the desktop, but to each his own :)
