    I know how to turn off inside regular Windows Explorer but not inside File Open dialogs. This seems to only affect Downloads folder too.

    how to disable common open file dialog box in windows 10?

    Hi, AshimShrestha,

    File dialog box is necessary when:

    • Opening a file. This is so one may select the file they wish to open.
    • Save As. This is necessary when clicking Save As because you may then give the file a Name or a Different Name before saving. (I do not see it appear upon clicking Save)
    • Allows you to select a different Location to Save Files
    Using Group Policy - Look for the option here:

    Group Policy at the User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager node.

    How to disable Downloads group by inside File Open dialog?

    Disable group by in Downloads folder (Windows 10 1903)

    Hi, since I updated to the new Windows 1903 version the files in some folders like
    "Downloads" are always grouped by the date. I was able to disable this in the File Explorer itself by choosing
    "Group by = none". But in all kind of "Save as" dialogs from any application the group by date still appears and in those special explorer windows there is no option to disable file grouping in them. So how can I disable this globally?
