<div>
I have Windows 10 V1709 (newest). &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If I search from Windows Explorer from the top folder that I want results from, it comes up in a normal (non-grouped) list. <br />
If I search from Cortana, and first restrict to Documents, I get the same list. <br />
<br />
Try these two things above. <br />
<br />
Then in Cortana search settings, turn Windows Cloud Search OFF and also clear your device history. Then restart the computer and test. <br />
<br />
You may need to rebuild your search index, but try the above two first.

Hi,<br />
<br />
Searching in documents or my PC - any searches in Win 10, used to give ungrouped results. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Normally, would just be a long list of filenames, and you'd click at the top of the columns to sort as needed.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, there's grouping:<br />
<br />
0-9<br />
<br />
A-H<br />
<br />
I-P<br />
<br />
And, you can go into View and select other &quot;groupings&quot;. &nbsp;But, seems like there's no way to have no groupings. <br />
<br />
Didn't used to happen in Win 10, or ever in Win back to &nbsp;Win ~ . &nbsp;Just suddenly started doing this.<br />
<br />
How does this look to you? &nbsp;As a setting I've clicked somewhere? &nbsp;Do you get the same grouping now when you search?<br />
<br />
Need a way to make it stop doing this.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Win 10 - Search Results: Turn Off Grouping

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
