no longer runs for me the groupy service wont start

from Stardock Forums

I tried the purge batch file from <https://forums.stardock.com/488142/groupy-support-faq#reinstalling>
It says this
The Stardock Groupy service is not started.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net helpmsg 3521
The *** service is not started.
**How is that more help?**
Any ideas?

 

I've uninstalled and reinstalled.  Works fine on my home desktop.  Doesn't run on corp laptop.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information on your system.

  1. Windows full version numbers. Please use Winver.exe for full Windows version numbers.
  2. Groupy version.

  3. It says this
    The Stardock Groupy service is not started.
    End of quote
  4. When is this message popup? While installing or after rebooting?

Thanks

It started some time ago.....

I uninstalled it and installed the latest version.

Still the same

This pops up after configuring Groupy

  1. Any reasons you're not updating the latest official Windows version? v2004 or at least v1909?
  2. Please post Groupy version numbers installed.
  3. Please try purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/488142/groupy-support-faq#reinstalling Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.

Thank you,

The Windows version installed is controlled by my company.  Not sure why they don't just let Microsoft update to the latest Enterprise version.

 

I'm fairly certain I've done the purge process but I will see if I can force windows to update to later version and do the purge thing again.

Thanks

wow,

Update tells me all is up to date.  I clicked on install updates from Microsoft.

 

It has found 35 updates :( 

If my PC even reboots after all the windows, anti-malware, drivers and such it is downloading I'll try it out :)
