This extends the - File explorer text removal to 23H2. I suspect the issue is in the beta update to 23H2 but have included 23H2 original in it too just in case.
Tweak which may stop extract zipped folder auto grouping, though it did not reproduce in-house.
Fixes the - File Explorer text and - Notepad text on Windows Explorer and Notepad windows on Win11 24H2
Fixes for space on the right-hand side of tabs when there is insufficient space.

Known issues
While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

Microsoft Edge, loaded in InPrivate mode, has been saved into a group with a couple of other tabs. Following a restart, loading the group does load Edge, yes, but not in InPrivate mode.
System is W10 x64, fully patched as of 22/11, and with Groupy V2.2
Windows 10 Pro 22H2, Groupy2 v2.20
1. When starting KeePassXC and type password and PIN code, the window with Groupy2 will automatically shrink to a fixed size, which is 100% reproducible.
2. Sometimes in normal use, the windows of all programs disappear, and only a groupy2 tab bar is displayed.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information.
Thank you.Basj,Stardock Community Assistant.
1.Windows 10 Professional 22H2 (19045.5247)
2.Groupy2 Version 2.2
3.Yes,I set all windows to auto group.
If you disable all Windows auto Group and instead use selective application auto group. Does it resolve your issue?
Thank you,

Suggestion for UI/menu improvement:
Once Groupy is set up, the most frequently accessed item is launching Saved Groups but you have to navigate 3 sub menus to reach this
For me, 95% of access is to Saved Groups 5% to create new OR tweak settings. A workaround is to create a desktop shortcut to the Start Menu >> Saved Groups
Consider an option for the Groupy icon on Tabs: On hover displays Saved Groups on click you see menu list On/Off
Hello,I have forwarded your request to the Stardock Support Team for their review and recommendations. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We really do appreciate your feedback, Thanks

If you are using Start11v2, you could pin "C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Groupy" as a Pinned Folder Menu.
I don't have Start 11, but have pinned it to the taskbar for the moment:
Good clear instructions for Win 11: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/pin-files-folders-or-drives-to-windows-11-taskbar/
groupy_64.dll，总是引起资源管理器重启。
Please try, uninstall Groupy, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products . Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.
问题依然存在
Look like your issue is unique to your system. Please create your own new thread and we will continue to help you there.
Also include few more details there.
OK, This program is amazing. I am unclear on how to make Groupy auto start when I boot W11 and have it open with my 5 programs tabbed together. Do I need all of these programs to auto start with W11? Some I have to open manually when W11 starts. I did create a saved group in grouping rules. I just don't understand how to make what I created auto start upon rebooting my computer.
What may be better for you than Groupy doing anything that it does not (it does not start apps on Win startup) is this Windows setting
The single greatest feature MS has ever added...

I will try that. Thanks.
Loving Groupy2. Change subject.....The program creating taskbar or start menu links doesn't seem to do anything (Windows 11). Is this a known issue?
