I've been encountering a peculiar issue with my Windows 11, version 23H2, where icons spontaneously appear on my desktop without any direct action from my side. This includes documents that I've merely opened and then closed, program icons that are irrelevant to me, folders I've interacted with temporarily, and even apps that I've recently downloaded. It seems like every item I briefly touch ends up creating an icon on my desktop. This clutters up the workspace and disrupts my workflow, making it difficult to maintain a clean and organized desktop environment.
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced similar issues or if there's a known explanation behind this behavior? More importantly, I'm seeking advice on how to manage these settings effectively so only the icons I need remain visible while preventing unnecessary ones from appearing automatically. Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated as I strive to optimize my user experience in Windows 11.
