Or you could could use windows 10 LTSB which is a cut down windows 10 1607 with security updates until 2026, if you really need to maintain icon placement and can't manage without !!!

It is the SFF (Small Form Factor) machine, I will check the ram which I remember upgrading some years ago and I probably fitted the maximum. It was originally running Windows XP and then Windows 7 so...

OK Thanks will check and post back.
I haven't updated it in a while so I'm guessing it's on 1703
O

I have windows 10 32 Bit running on a
Dell Optiplex GX280 P4 from 2004.
It's 32 bit and has 2Gb Ram.

Yeah sorry was sure it did when I was checking in a vm.
I did not close and reopen the window.
Seem that explorer reads the reg values but no longer writes them in 1703 +.
I think it may be to do...

Looks like it's temporary as version 1703 OS Build 16176 is working again for me. Just a matter of waiting I guess. :chuckle:

I've been struggling with this as well, but gladly it is working again in Version 1703 OS Build 16176
which I tested in a virtual machine.
So hopefully this feature will be back to stay.
Thanks...
