Windows 10 Desktop Icon Columns Changed

After upgrading to Windows 10, my desktop icons changed from 7 columns (Win10 default) to 6 columns on every boot. How to fix this?

    Uncheck Auto-arrange icons, then manually drag the icons to the desired number of columns and lock the desktop layout.

    Right-click on the desktop, uncheck ‘Auto-arrange icons’, then manually drag the icons into the desired number of columns and lock the desktop layout.
