Windows 10 1903 download folder view

I just switched to Linux myself. Setting the Group By option of Downloads in File Explorer worked fine for me, however the Save As dialogue window keeps displaying the Downloads grouped by date.

Is there any registry edit that could stop this? Usual crap from redmond sorry to say that. They always think they know it better than the user.

Perhaps MS telemetry data picked up on that. Anyway, the Group By makes since for a lot of users. Or they can easily see the last item s deleted to recover them. If I want to se the latest deletes or downloads, i click on the modified column for sorting.

Thank you! Fixing this and being able to delete the Xbox app are the relief after 3 hours and 40 minutes waiting for this to download and install. I came across a similar problem in the screenshots folder. The download folder view appears to behave as it should.

The display is grouped by time and I cannot find a way to change. Any ideas? Thank you very much for these tips.

When I try the grouping it mixes everything up. Have you find a solution for this? Same problem. Wasted an hour trying to fix it and failed. I do not understand why Microsoft does stuff like this. Can it be that hard to give us control over how we want to work with files? This was only happening with download folder, not the folders within my download folder. It was driving me crazy. This only started today and I wanted to jump off a bridge. The Downloads folder tends to build up with files.

All apps that are capable of downloading files download them to it by default. You may not remember what a file you downloaded was called but you might have some idea as to when you downloaded it.

If it was a week ago, or last month, the files will be grouped accordingly and you have a smaller sub-set of the files to look through. If you later realize that this sort of grouping was good for the Downloads folder, or you prefer to use it for different folders, the option is right there. Microsoft might have just intended for this behavior to change after the update in which case, it needs to not make annoying changes like this.
