  1. Any way to disable the "grouping" option in file explorer permanently?


    I really dislike that it automatically activated the grouping by date after this last update, in everything, and it is kind of annoying to have to right clikc and select the "group by none" every single time, I move something from one folder to another and next time I open said folder, most of the time is back to the grouping.

    :)

  2. Windows Explorer: Saving not grouping permanently

    In File Explorer, select the View tab.

    Determine the Sort by and/or Group by options to determine the view you want to have permanently.

    Then go to Options.

    Change folder and search options. A small window will open: "Folder Options".

    Go to the View tab.

    Select "Apply to Folders".

    Select "Apply".

    Select "OK"

    Open a new File Explorer window to confirm the changes.

  3. Disable the file display groups in file explorer

    I want to disable file explorer from sorting the files in groups. It keeps putting the files in to groupings and telling me how many files are in this groups. For example Q-Z (2). Really. I do not like this. It is like my email trying to sort by today,
    earlier in the week, and so on. I want to disable this feature.

    Permanently disable Group by view everywhere in Windows 11 Home

    I tried all the suggested approaches I found, but the extremely annoying Group-by view returns, specially in Download folder and save as window.

    How can I permanently disable this everywhere, once and forever?

    Thank you
