In my case grid.UpdateLayout(); didn't help an I needed a DoEvents() instead:

    DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)grid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);

    if (row == null)
    {

        WPFTools.DoEvents();

        grid.ScrollIntoView(grid.Items[index]);
        row = (DataGridRow)grid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
    }

        var frame = new DispatcherFrame();

        Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Background,
            new DispatcherOperationCallback(
                delegate (object f)
                {
                    ((DispatcherFrame)f).Continue = false;
                    return null;
                }), frame);

        Dispatcher.PushFrame(frame);
    }
