Just a simple question, I tried searching for a program on Google and there are others with the same question but either the question went unanswered or the question was misunderstood.
I often change between my 15" laptop screen, 24" monitor and 4K TV. Switching around causes the icons to move around, I would simply like them permanently put in place. I feel like that would be a simple program to make, but it seems like there is no reputable looking programs for it that I could find. I found one that someone recommended on a Windows forum but it had a very very small amount of downloads

I would also like to know a solution to this problem. The TV isn't detected until I turn it on, so every time I move my Recycle Bin it's right back on the built in screen next time. Quite annoying
Also on Windows 10 -

Just tried that. Turned the TV off, waited for everything to switch to the built in screen, and after turning the TV back on they don't move back over.

I'm very surprised they don't have more info on this. I feel like not even Microsoft employees know this lol.
Thanks for the info, gonna try this "refresh" out a bit and see how I like it and if it doesn't work as good as I'd like, I will try that programalexhawker likes this.
