    I came in today to see the computer had restarted overnight.
    The desktop icons are all bunched up and scrambled!
    Why does this happen and how can it be prevented?

    It would help if you got real radical and said what OS it is
    and whether you leave it on overnight etc

    Likely its the result of a bad update if you leave it
    on overnight or if you dont, a mains failure and
    the power coming back again causing the restart

    How to prevent it depends on the answer to those
    two questions. If its left on overnight, you can
    prevent updates with most but not all OSs

    If it was due to a mains failure, you can set it to not
    come on again when the mains fails

    It can also be due to a virus, but presumably
    its still working except for the desktop icons

    Ultimately restoring a backup should work
    if you actually have a backkup

    Sounds good.

    I did, I have an auto daily Sys restore.

    Yes, overnight

    If you mean you leave it on overnight, most likely an
    update that Win11 usually does do overnight unless
    you tell it not to do that.

    You should be able to check what update it did and reverse that now

    If that doesnt fix the problem, backup should fix it

    How to prevent it depends on the answer to those

    While in theory you can't turn updates off with Win11
    it is possible but you need to keep checking that stopping
    that is still working because MS keeps killing that

    Hello, how can I set the computer not to restart after a power
    failure?

    To prevent your computer from automatically restarting after a power
    failure, youAll need to adjust the BIOS/UEFI settings. Here's how to
    do it step by step:

    ?? Disable Auto-Restart After Power Loss (BIOS/UEFI)
    1. Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup.
    o Usually by pressing , , , or during startup (the key varies
    by manufacturer).
    2. Navigate to the Power Management section.
    o Look for something like "AC Power Recovery", "Restore on AC
    Power Loss", or "After Power Loss".
    3. Change the setting to "Stay Off" or "Power Off".
    o Other options might include "Last State" or "Power On":
    o Power On: Automatically turns the PC back on.
    o Last State: Returns to the state before power loss.
    o Power Off/Stay Off: Keeps the PC off until manually turned on.
    4. Save and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.
    o Usually by pressing , then confirming.

    ?? Optional: Check Windows Settings (for unexpected restarts)
    If you're experiencing restarts unrelated to power loss, you might
    also want to:
    o Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings >
    Startup and Recovery.
    o Uncheck "Automatically restart" under System failure.

    Would you like help locating this setting on your specific motherboard
    or PC model? I can look it up for you.

    Hello, how can I set the computer not to restart after a power

    You are better off with the motherboard manual if its a desktop
    or the laptop manual if its a laptop, but a laptop wouldnt normally
    be affected by a mains failure, particularly if its on the charger

    do it step by step:
    ?? Disable Auto-Restart After Power Loss (BIOS/UEFI)

    The scrambling and adding "shortcuts" is a windows feature
    Right click on mouse on desktop click "sort" select "sort by name"
    With the long names on Windows desktop

    Indeed it is. Even my Mac has been known to have the icons upset on the
    odd occasion. I just rearrange them the way I want them to be, then move
    on. If it was happening on a regular basis, I'd take other measures, but
    it never did. Nor did it when I was running Win10.

    I put desktop icons in appropriately named folders on the desktop. keeps

    Never gives a straight answer, because he hasn't a clue.
    If one accidentally shows him up he tries to white Ant that post and
    get abusive.

    He keeps tossing around his CSIRO "computer job"?
    They were punch card devices, Griffith did establish a data link to
    Black Mountain Canberra.. I used one in ICI had data link from Sydney
    to Melbourne, New York, London. I used the black screen with Green
    text. you had to know the Syntax commands to send/receive Data.

    I myself have had jobs in government jobs,
    when somewhere like Canberra found a useless drone, as they were in
    "dead mans Shoes" promotion system meant they were flameproof couldn't
    be fired.
    So if they were really bad they would look at the "Furthest" out post
    they could send one to within his job criteria, I suspect that was
    from Canberra to Griffith NSW 1960's?

    Probably wasn't because my DAB radio which is always on in the

    Perhaps it was something to do with an upgrade.

    Did you actually have a power failure?
    or is that a guess?

    Probably wasn't because my DAB radio which is always on in the

    What do you have it playing channel wise ?
    1990s hits

    With a power failure it stays off.

    Perhaps it was something to do with an upgrade.

    ANU's involvement with CSIRO regarding fertilizer in Griffith, NSW, is
    through a collaborative project developing technology to extract
    nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater, which can then
    be used as a fertilizer. This project aims to reduce Australia's
    reliance on imported fertilizers and improve food security, a goal
    that is particularly relevant to the agricultural region of Griffith. Wastewater nutrient harvesting: The project focuses on creating
    technology that mimics how plants absorb nutrients, with the goal of
    extracting valuable resources from wastewater.
    Fertilizer security: The initiative is a direct response to the
    increasing cost and decreasing availability of imported fertilizers, a
    problem exposed by global supply chain issues.
    Local relevance: By providing a new source of fertilizer, the research
    directly benefits agricultural regions like Griffith, NSW, which rely
    heavily on farming and fertilizers.
    Scientific expertise: The collaboration combines ANU's expertise in
    plant science and biological research with CSIRO's capabilities in
    agricultural science and technology development. "

    And says nothing about the 1960s

    Further diferent searches did

    How odd that you can't cite those

    And you still can't

    You are the who said you were at CSIRO in 1950's

    I never did anything of the sort

    The CSIRO had an Irrigation Research Laboratory in Griffith from
    1961 to 1967,

    For MUCH longer than that, and we just
    had the fucking centernary this year.

    which focused on agricultural and scientific research.

    Then you claimed you were working for ANU,

    But never ever said that I worked for them in Griffith, fuckwit

    And even if there had been, nothing to do with me, fuckwit
