Answer 3

Hi Rich,

I see No was pressed below my post :) May I gather some more details about the issue?

Answer 4

Hi Rich,

When you say re-draw, do you mean they get rearranged? Some more details are needed in order to help you.

I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.

Answer 5

There is no specific known issue in the provided Windows 11, version 25H2 or Microsoft Edge release health information that matches desktop icons redrawing when closing Edge.

Based on the available context, only general Windows 11 update guidance can be given:

1. Make sure Windows 11 is fully updated
   • Go to Settings > Windows Update and select Check for updates.
   • Install any pending quality updates for Windows 11, version 25H2.
2. Check for known or mitigated issues
   • Review the Windows 11, version 25H2 Known issues and Resolved issues pages to see if a graphics or shell/desktop-related problem has been added since the last check. These pages are updated as new issues are discovered and fixed.
3. Report the behavior to Microsoft
   • Use the Feedback Hub app to report the desktop icon redraw issue so it can be investigated and, if necessary, addressed in a future update:
     • Open Feedback Hub (search for “Feedback Hub” from Start).
     • Choose the Problem category.
     • Include details such as: Windows 11 version 25H2, that it happens when closing Edge, and whether multiple monitors or scaling are in use.
4. If the issue is severe or blocks work
   • Use the Get Help app or contact Microsoft Support for direct troubleshooting if the behavior worsens or is accompanied by other display problems.
