Windows 10: How can I set a default Windows explorer search view ?

Hello, I'm posting this message because I've tried many solutions.
I have Windows 10. When searching in the explorer windows, or from the "see more" in the windows bar search, the view (icon size, sort by and group by) is not as I would like it to be, and I can't change it.
Until now, if I changed it many times, it would eventually set this view as the default view for search results. But it reset without any apparent reason, I can't find a way to get it back.

I tried changing the view of one search, and then closing and restarting explorer. I saved a search with the view I wanted.These solutions worked only for 2/3 searches at best.
I can't go to options, and then "apply to all folders", because the button is grayed out. I can only "apply to all folders" in a regular folder, not a search results list, but this won't do because regular folders don't have the "group by" option, which I need the most.

I tried to follow this site : https://appuals.com/customize-default-search-views-windows-10/
But the last key I got is 4999 or something like that and it wasn't even called “{7FDE1A1E-8B31-49A5-93B8-6BE14CFA4943}”. Maybe the registry is restricted to 50000 keys, and the last one was the one with the wrong setup ? This is only an hypothesis.

Sorry, this problem is really annoying, so if anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated !
Thank you in advance !
