Parallels 11 Upgrade - Win XPP Desktop Icons Frequently Change Location

I upgraded from Parallels 10 to Parallels 11. Subsequently, the Windows XP Pro desktop icons relocate to the left side of the desktop, at random occurrences. Sometimes, this occurs when I double-click on a desktop icon. Sometimes, this occurs when I launch or Exit an application. Always, this occurs after I restart either Windows or Parallels. I use Layout.dll to reestablish the desired desktop icon layout, however, this problem occurs with such frequency, that I rarely perform this action, anymore.

I welcome any suggestions.

Thank you.

Hello, It seems that you're on outdated build of Parallels Desktop 11, this issue has been fixed in the latest Parallels Desktop 11.0.2 (31348). Latest version always available here: parallels.com/directdownload/pd11/Please note that Parallels Tools also needs to be updated (Actions > Update Parallels Tools)
 
I had previous installed, and, have been running Version 11.0.2 (31348). I copied the version data from Get Info, and, I pasted it into this message. However, I reinstalled Parallel Tools. This seems to have remedied the problem.

Thank you.
