I had a problem with my desktop icons changing where they were and their size
If anyone else has this problem I would try this
Show hidden files
Go to your user/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows
Delete or rename the file UsrClass.dat
It will say it cannot delete the file as it is in use but tell it to anyway
Reboot
Windows will make a fresh file and your icons will stay where you have put them
