Windows 10: Physical spacing between desktop icons is way too large and cannot be changed.

No matter what I do with the resolution or hold control or any of those "answers" before from the experts. It does nothing to help this issue. Apparently, many others as well yet we still get the whole patronizing "just hold down the control and roll your mouse up and down." No really I never tried this FIRST BASIC STEP. Why do I have to mess with my registry to fix this? Literally happened overnight. I've done all the silly fixes that are recommended by the Microsoft "experts"Nothing.

Windows 10 desktop icons large space

Dear community

After Windows 10 upgrade, I'm having a problem with desktop icons with large space between each other. Not to mention the desktop icons cannot go to the edge of the taskbar or to the edge of right screen. The desktop icons can only be placed like 5 centimeters
from the edge of the taskbar and almost 3 centimeters from the edge of the right screen. Here is the picture with Recycle Bin and Chrome as only icons you can see: http://oi58.tinypic.com/x1dlza.jpg

I want my desktop icons to fit on edge on taskbar as well on edge of right screen like in Windows 7. And I also want not to have a large space between desktop icons, but just the same space between icons like in Windows 7. How can I do that?
