Launch Pad Rearranges

[Zazoh]

Default fresh install, I arrange the icons on this page, and even put most of the system stuff in the "Other folder" restart computer and Launchpad page is all changed, to include taking things out of the Other folder and moving them to the main page. I will never use Stickies ...

Bug or feature?

Probably a one time occurrence. Put them back where you want them and they should stay.

Probably a one time occurrence following reinstall. Put them back where you want them and they should stay.

Bug unfortunately, I believe. My Mac was doing that after I updated and ran migration assistant. I re-ran migration assistant and the issue now seems resolved.

If you make a clean install with apple configurator 2 you haven't this bug. Out of the box i had the same bug.

Finally found the solution:
1. Reset the Launchpad in the terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true
killall Dock
2. Take print screens of the launchpad and the folder <Others>)
3. Reboot
4. Let the Launchpad to rearrange as it is. Don't do any arrangement
5. Wait for couple of days.
6. Reboot twice
7. If you see some apps are missing in Launchpad, drag them to Launchpad from Apps (in the Finder call the list of app: shift+command+A)
8. Reboot once
7. Check whether missing apps appeared in the Launchpad
8. Reboot once more time
9. Check whether the Launchpad stays as it was before.
8. Now rearrange Launchpad as you wish and you save to reboot as much as you needed.

This worked for me and now stays solid. I have to reboot on daily basis due to Bloomberg terminal under bootcamp partition, so no issues at all.
