Which version of Windows are you using and do you have Groupy set to autohide tabs in any state?
If Groupy 2 is active and ActualTools Window Manager has enabled any titlebar buttons, (most) application windows cannot be restored after maximizing, but will stay maximized.
Exact Windows version: Windows 10 22H2 19045.3208 x64
Detailed steps to recreate the issue seen:- ActualTools Window Manager should display at least one additional titlebar button (it does by default)- Groupy 2: my configuration is to show always the Groupy bar, on top of the window- Start Windows calculater- Click the maximize titlebar button- The window will be maximized- Click the button again to restore the old window size- The window will stay maximized
In general it seems to work with windows, where tabs are always shown: It’s working as expected in Explorer, while TaskManager is also affected by the problem
Specific apps that the app does not work (well) with:ActualTools Window Manager 8.15 http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager
It would be nice, if I could have the best of two worlds
And if that is not enabled, everything is fine, yes?

Windows 10 [10.0.19045.3208]
Tabs set to always visible...
Yes, if I disable ActualTools Window Manager or if I remove all custom titlebar buttons, restoring the window size is working as expected.
Windows 11 Version 2382 (0S Build 22631.2129)
the problem is overlapping and hepped with PDF-XChange Editor app.

As always, thank you very much for your time, feedback, and support.
Is there any chance, you provide a direct download link to the beta executable? As there were some changes to the behavior of windows, I'd like to test, if my problem with ActualTools Window Manager is solved
Do you know if my issue has been fixed in 2.11 Beta.
Never heard back from you...

If you purchase, Mike, and it does not meet your needs, it can be refunded in the 30 day window.
As for your issue, this MAY address it but we cannot promise anything for 3rd party app conflicts:
Resolved issue with window positioning, when opened, maximized on some applications
Do let us know when you do.

I'm using Groupy release version 2.1 and have a Startup group for Outlook 365 (64 bit) and NEO Pro (64.bit - an Outlook add-in from www.caelo.com). Closing groups → "When tabs are integrated into the title bar the close button should close the entire group" is active. Using the Startup shortcut, the two programs launch together and exit together. However, they don't minimize or restore together.
As a group:
Thanks.
The problem is fixed with the latest beta of Groupy 2, thank you very much.
The Groupy 2.11 beta has been updated.
Hello.
Periodically Groupy2 crashes and tabs disappear (return once Explorer is closed)
I'm on Steam so I can't try it, but is this bug fixed in the beta version?

Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this, uninstall Groupy, reboot immediately after (important), redownload the latest version, install that version, reboot again after installation done. Retest and report back.
ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
The beta is available on Steam:

If you still have issues, we would like to as you to quantify 'periodically'. Any actual crashes of an app, we would need dumps if at all possible. This page documents how to collect them for Start11 but the process would be the same for Groupy.

I followed the instructions and tried installing again, but it didn't make any difference.

Excellent and thank you.
