You can turn off the combining but you can't turn off the grouping. (unless 8 reverted what vista/7 did)
Also annoying is that your only options are 'combine, without text' and 'don't combine, with text'. Why is windows so fond of using one toggle where there should be multiple toggles?
It's not a 'one toggle to turn it off' thing. They've gone to extra effort to make it hard to disable, to the point that you need to do many actions in the right sequence or all your work will be auto-reverted.
Annoying: you can't turn off both. If your project has a workflow where the webui merge should not be used (e.g. using signed merges) there is still no way to achieve that.
Oh yes, I remember immediately googling how to turn this one off. It's a checkbox in settings that's labelled something along the lines of "suggest ways to improve my windows experience"
You can turn it off! You can personalize the space to make it work for you. That's one of our key differentiators. We don't want to force you into a single format.
You've always been able to turn it off with group policy and disabling the reporting service. It still bugs me, on principle, that you can't easily disable it even on the Pro edition.
