How to prevent Windows 11 beta File Explorer from grouping files?

[muggerfugger]

Ever since I got on the beta version of windows 11, it been automatically grouping files in certain folders, and folders within that folder. For example, my Downloads folder. I keep setting the Grouping to None, but it still continues to group the files and folders after restarting explorer, or the pc.

I'm used to sorting files by name, and then date, so this is making it complicated to find certain files that i'm looking for.

It's very annoying. Does anyone know of a way to disable this? or fix it? I've never had this problem in Windows before.

I'm currently on Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22622.290

thanks

This also happens in Windows 10 in the Downloads folder since one of the many updates, look here:
