To work this around you can set the EnableColumnGroupsVirtualization to False.

Alternatively you can change the FrozenColumnCount before adding the columns, and reset it once the process is done. For example:

gridTriffDetails.FrozenColumnCount = 0;
 
gridTriffDetails.Columns.Add(newColumn);
gridTriffDetails.Columns.Add(newColumn1);
gridTriffDetails.Columns.Add(newColumn2);
 
gridTriffDetails.FrozenColumnCount = 1;
