Hi, I have the latest versions of Windows 11 Pro, Notepad and Groupy 2. When Groupy 2 is not running Notepad works OK and when Groupy 2 is running, Notepad gets freezing. Anyone can help?
[quote who="prattjos@gmail.com" reply="24" id="3903061"]I just want to add, my settings before were legitimate, I have problems only with Notepad to my knowledge.The cog appearing on the left or the right might be because my system includes the Hebrew language.[/quote]
Would you be able to let your system language to English and see if the issue continues?

I got the same problem, it will be solved after:
All the solutions will affect immediately without need of reboot.
My application version is at below:
To solve this problem I uninstall and re-install the notepad from Microsoft Store, so my notepad is the newest and I don't know how to downgrade it.
And it's not always like that, I found it crashing after I update some hardware drive. After that happened I have tried to rollback them, but you know that, a drive is a drive, I can not be certain that I have rollback them thoroughly, and it just did not work as expected.

Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can run notepad on my system without issue. Please share your Windows 11 full version number. Use Winver.exe. Also, please share your groupy setting.
ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
Thanks for you reply.
I tried notepad 2302.26.0 with some *.msixbundle downloaded from web. The version of notepad actually does not matter as you post.
My Groupy settings is just in default because I have uninstall it for several times with totally data-cleaning each time.
And for OS version detail, I will post it soon after I uninstalling recent system patches and finish the test...
But I do have a question: why the behavior of Groupy2 tab to run with native tab is defferent from explorer to notepad? the explorer display two layers of tab while the notepad just display the Groupy tab. Will this be the reason for the crash?
Yes, my version is the same as what you post in your reply#27. As for the tabs, groupy2 should replace Windows 11 Explorer groupy tabs if you turn this option on.
Thank you,

Alright I just mistake it... they do replace the original tabs after openning new window. The "two layers of tab" behaviour just happen when open the native tabs firstly and then enable the Groupy feature...
My OS is under version Windows 11 22H2 22621.2361, for previous confirmatino.
By the way I have test the Groupp 2 Version 2 BETA 1, but it does not solve this.
I'm gonna to resolve the errors caused by my rough rollback operation to the system patches...
Look like its a preview version, which I don't have. However, I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Alright, Thanks for your help.
I got tried after restore my system to the save point before I update the drives, in which time I should be able to use notepad with Groupy2 with a replaced tab, but not surprisingly it does not.
It must be some errors at the system layer, I don't know. Maybe the drivers, maybe the .NET or VC runtime, god knows.
Anyway just forget about it if you can not reproduce it. I am using a Groupy tabs with native title of explorer and notepad now. It just works well, though doesn't look very elegant.
I have reset my PC to do some other test and find Groupy 2 does work well when install first.
So I think this might be some dependencies error related to .NET Runtime 7 or some unknown DLLs.
By the way I have installed the ExplorerPatcher at same time. The sequence of installation for these tools seems to be important.
Ok, so you are good now?

Yes, I think I am in a unstable good state now. Avoid modifying the registry as far as possible so I can keep it working.
I totally get where you're coming from with those Notepad quirks. Language settings can sometimes throw things off, especially with right-to-left languages like Hebrew. Paul's suggestion to switch your system language to English sounds like a solid troubleshooting step. It might help smooth out those kinks. Also, I'm new here too, so it's cool to meet fellow tech puzzlers!
