Windows 11 Desktop Icon Columns Changed

After upgrading to Windows 11, my desktop icons changed from 7 columns (Win10 default) to 6 columns on every boot. How to fix this?

    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.
