KVM Anomaly
 
This has been driving me nuts.
I cannot retain my desktop icon layouts.
I have two PCs, one W10, one dual-boot W7 & W10.
They are linked via a 2-port USB VGA KVM.
I never have desktop arrangement-retention trouble on the first PC
whether I use the KVM or not.
I never do on the second either as long as I leave the KVM alone.
Even when I shut down and restart.
BUT, if I have both PCs on, and use the KVM to go back and forth,
the desktop icons on the second PC immediately revert to another
layout, but with the same icons. Happens W7 and W10.
Any ideas?
Sammy

Do you have the desktop layout set to auto-arrange icons on the problem
system? I don't know why switching the KVM would trigger a change but it
seems possible from a distance.

Cloudflare is a protection facility for commercial web sites.

It can protect web sites from distributed denial of service attacks.

Or, it's possible you're using a VPN, and the amount of traffic
coming from the VPN creates a hotspot which is interpreted as
an attack (flood).

Try contacting the site without your VPN.

I think where you're "hailing" from at the moment (your apparent home),
has caused problems before.

https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussio...rom-psychz-net

It's possible "psychz.net" is on a list, for not paying attention to
abuse reports sent to them. Surely you must have noticed "blocks" on
some of the other web sites you've tried to visit from your VPN...
The blocks aren't all because of some Javascript problem. They're
routing blocks.

Don't know about your access problems but here is the most important
instruction copied from the site I linked to:

"1 Right click or press and hold on your desktop (Shift+F10), click/tap on
View, and click/tap on Auto arrange icons to check (on) or uncheck (off -
default) it. (see screenshot below)"

Followed the guidance and so far the icons are behaving - both W7 &
W10.
Thanks
