Groupy 2 Crashing

June 29, 2023 10:54:30 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Upgraded to Groupy 2. It's constantly crashing. Tabs are there for a while, then disappear and I have to reboot the entire computer to get them back. Didn't have issues with Groupy.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. We need full version number please. Use Winver.exe for the full version number. Also, for the issue. Try this, uninstall Groupy. Reboot immediately, download and install latest version from your account again. Reboot immediately again after install. Retest and report back.

Thanks

Try this, uninstall Groupy 2. Reboot immediately after it finished. Re-download latest Groupy 2, install it. Reboot again after it finished. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

Uninstalled. Rebooted. Reinstalled. Rebooted. Ran for about 8 hours then all tabs are now gone again. Doesn't work.

Hello,

When groupy tab gone, please check Task Manager and see if Groupy still appear in there.

Thank you,

Today, after a reboot, some windows are working with Groupy tabs, but others are not. In the attached screenshot, there are TWO windows grouped, but NO tabs. When I grouped these windows (same as I do every day), it never showed tabs. I didn't think it was going to group them because nothing showed, but they did group. Just no tabs! But you can see other windows (on the right) show the tabs.

Groupy was fantastic. Groupy2 is crap!

Background processes are running...

I'm not going through all of that for this. Waste of my time. How do I get my Groupy 1 back?

Since this is not being widely reported, it seems like there is a conflict with something on your computer, which is what the recommended process is for.

Guess i better toss my hat in the ring then.  This has been happening to me for awhile.  I just havent had time to post about it.   

Ill open other tabs and come back and will only have a single tab left open.  At some point theyre crashing/closing themselves out. 

I am admittedly in the beta insider ring so if that has a hand in it, i'm at microsofts mercy.  Ive been queued to unenroll for about ever but seems they arent keen on affording the opportunity very often.
