Can you though? Explorer.exe on windows 11 is already a steaming pile. Why the fuck can't I disable grouping? If I need to find a specific kind of files in my download directory, it's way easier for me to sort by size. What isn't easy is that now it's grouped by fucking date as well. IDK when I grabbed the last windows iso on my.visualstudio.com, I just know that I have <10 files that are >3GB in my download directory. But noooo now after sorting by size I've got to either search though 4 or 5 groups or turn grouping off.

The IT dept at work has decided that we all will run windows 11, and it's locked down tighter than I've experienced in a long time. Guess who has a VM called "Windows 10 Daily driver" running. Fuck windows 11 and the iso it rode in on.

You can sort by size and turn grouping by date off. It is right in the menu.

I'm quite aware it is. I usually use the detailed view, so sorting is easy. But going into the menu to turn off grouping only works once for me. If I go into the settings for explorer and chose the "make the current setup default" button (or whatever it is called, I can't recall right now), then every single other aspect than grouping are preserved. Are you telling me that my issues aren't caused by windows 11 being a needy little b*tch?
