Windows 10 desktop Icons spacing

For some reason, since the update of my graphics drivers, all my desktop icons have gone spaced out.
I know how to reduce their size, but the spacing around them is huge.

I did try the Regedit way, but it kinda reverts back after.

Is there some standard proper "Windows" method of getting the spacing right?

For anyone who has come across this, I think I found the solution.
Uninstall all third party graphics drivers. I got rid of Nvidia and Intel's. Restarted. Then changed redegit bac to the default - figure, and it worked. I then ran Windows Update which installed the intel drivers and so far, it's still fine.

I think perhaps there was something bad or a fault install that caused it.

Firefox still seems to have issues, but it could be a FF issue, not Windows.
