Desktop icons positions changing

[ganons]

I have Windows 10 since launch and I have all updated installed. I have my recycle bin in bottom right hand corner but if I restart the PC or refresh the desktop, it will go to the left side. This didnt happen in Win 7 and at some point in Win 10 I was able to move them anywhere without it resetting the positions.

So what do I need to change for it not lose the positions?

The quick thing i can think of is if Auto-Arrange is turned on .
Right click on the desktop some where and go to View - > and make sure there is NO check mark beside auto arrange

Portable Freeware two clicks and it would take care of the problem.

Auto arrange is disabled.

Portable app doesn't work, when saving it, it resets the positions

What works for me is a brief utility that places two commands in the menu when you right click on your computer icon. They are, Save Desktop Icon Layout and Restore Desktop Icon Layout. It works on 10, 7, 8.1, 8, Vista, XP, 98, etc. http://superuser.com/questions/466661/how-to-force-windows-to-save-desktop-icon-positions
