I am one of those uses who keeps many items on my desktop. I would like to be able to save a file to desktop and then be able to easily find it on the desktop, ideally at the bottom right position...

Exactly correct--this affects only PDF icons on the desktop, nothing else. And idgat's solution may be the only one. Neither Adobe nor Microsoft (and I have querys pending on both official help...

I am aware of this. I have only had the DC version for the last year. Just switched to PDF-XChange viewer but no improvement.

And yes, I have rebuilt the icon cache several times, as well as the...

Thanks Lance1 for the advice.

OK, I deleted Adobe Reader and installed PDF-XChange Viewer and the problem remains, Sigh...

(Though it seems to be a nice PDF viewer.)

Well today I don't even have the small Acrobat logo appearing in the lower right corner of the black box anymore -- it's now just a plain black box:

Berton,

I only have Acrobat Reader DC installed on my computer; I do not have any of the other programs shown.

Haven't tried to go back to an earlier version. Is such...

Thanks, f14tomcat. I checked and my folder options are set just as shown in your screenshot.

Thanks Spunk for the suggestion. Those people seem to be complaining about the same issue I'm having. It appears not to have been resolved, as an Adobe employee posted as follows:

Amal.

Here are shots of my defaults for file types and the preference for the Adobe Reade app.

These two pictures show how the icon is supposed to look and what it eventually becomes. It is associated with the Adobe Reader App as indicated by the small Acrobat badge in the bottom right corner....

Hi all. My Windows 10 Pro x64 computer (v. 10.0.19042, Build 19042) has developed an odd problem. The desktop icon for PDF files (a wallpaper image of the first page of the file), turns to black...

OK, thanks.

I guess the next step is to wait and see if ASUS posts a new audio driver on the support page for my board.

Thanks. I'll give it a try now.

It says the best driver is already installed. Can I force it to update to the newer driver?

Ah OK. I misunderstood your post. I checked the specs on the audio hardware for the two boards and they are not exactly the same: the Maximus has a DAC whereas the ROG STRIX has "Dual OP Amplifiers,"...

I really appreciate your attention to this issue. For the record, the motherboard is the "ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING." The audio is described as "ROG SupremeFX S1220A 8-Channel High Definition CODEC,"...

Thanks. I'll try to find what was said about that driver to see if it clarifies anything,

Is this what you were thinking of? It appears that the driver has a UAC...

Yes, and I have set it to manual and it no longer loads automatically. This cures the issue of repeated unsuccessful attempts to start the service.

I still don't understand why this is only a...

Thanks. I went back to Device Manager and uninstalled the device and then reinstalled it with the 8666 drivers. It still exhibits the same behavior, i.e., unsuccessful attempts to load...

I'm hoping someone here can help with my Realtek audio issue. I've been reading and reading but can't figure it out.

I am running Win 10 Pro 1909 on an ASUS ROG Z390-E motherboard with a Realtek...

I wish I could shortcut this by buying a Win 10 Pro installation for $99 by presenting my Win 7 Home product key.

Thanks!
FYI, I built the old PC myself and bought a retail license. I'm building the new PC myself also. So I think it will work then.

I'm now running Win 7 Home on my old PC. I will be retiring my old PC for a new build and want to do a clean install of Win 10 Pro on the new build. I think the best/cheapest way for me to get to...
