Earlier today my M1 Mac Mini stopped responding. I had to manually shut it down and then restart it. After the restart the three desktop icons I have for the Mac's SSD, The TimeMachine SSD and a Flash Drive I use for GetBackUp Pro were aligned horizontally (not vertically).

See: ScreenShot 01

If I change the Desktop settings to:

Use Stacks: OFF
Sort By: None

The drive icons resort and sit on top of each other.

See: ScreenShot 02

I have run the Onyx utility but that has not resolved the issue. I wonder if the is a Plist or something that has become scrambled.

I have searched for several hours to find a solution but can't find anything that helps. I have tried all the options/permutations when I [control] + [Mouse Click] on the screen.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Regards,
Peter
