Something is unique with your environment... with that lone game... One that we cannot reproduce.
If you turn off Groupy from its UI, does it still happen?
(Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 64-bit)
I bought Groupy 2 excited about the new features, but was disappointed to find that the only thing that I bought was the colored highlight bars -- and even so they don't always load automatically.
One new issue I found is as follows:
I have a group which hosts my Messaging apps -- Zoom, Whatsapp, MS Teams, and Discord. Discord is actually a Chrome window in "app" mode (no Chrome bar)The problem is that when I open a different Chrome instance, Discord jumps out of its group and creates a new group with the new window. This happens regardless of whether Chrome has the "background processes" turned on or off. I put Discord back on its group. The next time I open Chrome, it creates a new group with the previous Chrome window, which is not what I want. Note that I do NOT have the "auto grouping" setting on. I even added "automatically exclude chrome from auto grouping" and that doesn't work. Apparently the second Chrome window now took ownership of my "Messages" group.
Another issue I have is that saved groups do not always work. I tried to save the previously mentioned group (Teams + Zoom + Whatsapp + Discord in Chrome), and the shortcut only opens the windows but does not group them. What's the use of this Groupy feature then? I believe this was the case in version 1.5 as well. I'm attaching the group code below.
In conclusion, I feel really dissappointed by having paid more money for the "upgrade". I got a software that looks a bit prettier, but has no extra functionality and has more bugs.
I too have this problem. Specifically with Windows Explorer.
Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, OS Build 19045.2965, Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0
While we certainly appreciate the feedback, javierruizgarcia, it's a 'Public Beta' and people who participate in it should have an understanding that all things will not work as expected during it.
While not quite as you detailed here, we have noticed some funkiness with auto \ grouping when apps were part of a save that was closed (or still open). It's hard to tell how much might be related to what you are detailing here as we are all working with the next build but I suspect these efforts should address them as well.
Again, thanks for the feedback.
Sorry, I actually forgot for a minute that this was still a beta. Looking forward for those next builds!One more note/suggestion, sorry if it's been posted before... The "active tab" color doesn't really stand out... I believe in v1.5 it was customizable? Check the screenshot... I have to really pay attention to know what tab I am working on. The x helps.
It is in the next update, coming real soon, stay tuned!

Future updates for what exactly? Are you referring to the Quake issue? So far that is the only report and it cannot be reproduced internallyPaul ScrogginsAssociate Technical Support Analyst
Next major update of Groupy 2... As I can't keep Groupy 1 installed while testing Groupy 2, I would like to wait for a better stable version of Groupy 2.

Uhm...interesting..... Thanks!
Not directly feedback to Groupy 2, but the changelog for Beta 2 is missing from this page:https://www.stardock.com/products/groupy/history
Could you please add it?
That will be because beta 2 isn't out yet?
What's this then?https://www.stardock.com/blog/520649/groupy-2-beta-2-arrives-with-new-features
That is supposed to be hidden until it is released. Clearly someone pressed the wrong button there!
Ah, good to know. Thank you!I'll keep an eye out on this forum then, to get notified when Beta 2 gets released.I haven't Beta 1 yet, because I wanted to wait until a more polished Beta 2 is out.
All,
