Thanks! I couldn't find the "Apply to folders" button for the Download folder. They had really hidden that well. Hope it works now (but with my previous Windows experiences, I'm not going to believe it until I see it)

Nope, as I suspected. Doesn't work. I've tried saving the ungrouped view twice now, but the next time I open the File Explorer, it's grouped again...

I realise that you are probably trying to be funny, but it's a really stupid comment, and fyi: It's neither funny nor helpful in any way.
First of all, this is my work computer. I work for a living programming windows, so you see that changing OS is out of the question.
Second of all: Do you actually believe that there is ONE person out there at all who has read a comment like this and thought: Cool, I'll just reinstall my computer with a completely different OS?

When you're dealing with something that really pushes your patience, I can certainly understand how a well-intended joke isn't received too well. 
I have that same thing on one system of mine where I can never get rid of the grouping in the Downloads folder. Why this one in particular, I still don't know, and all known methods I've ever run across don't fix the problem, or at least not permanently.
And it just so happens that as I just went back to that folder, on that system...grouping is gone. It might be back tomorrow for all I know.

It's working fine for me:
1) On the "View" tab, find the "Current View" ribbon section, and click the "Group By" button (on mine, it's the top right of the ribbon section, looks vaguely like a screen between two square brackets).
2) Select "(None)".
3)Close the window.
When I reopen it, it's still in "No group" view.
What I am I doing that is different to you?

As it says. Read it again.
It works on my personal PC, but some time in the last week it stopped working on my work laptop (both Win 10).

Quoted in full and read back multiple times. If you're referring to some other part of the thread, then I must simply have missed it. Not sure there's anything else I can contribute here.

The most obvious answer is to stop using Windows 10.
