Does anyone know how to resolve Windows Update KB5019509 with Groupy? Windows now has the tabs on file explorer so it's confusing.

I am not sure I understand.  Are you saying something is not working or just that you are confused by what Microsoft has introduced to Windows Explorer?

Hi Sean. Now that Microsoft introduced the new tab on file explorer there are multiple tabs (above and bottom). I would like to just have one of those like before the update. Thanks. Jay

Sorry Sean and all that read my post. I just checked my laptop which I haven't done the update yet and it looks almost the same. The only difference is that extra + on the tab now which Windows added so no big deal.

Hi, I would like to keep using Groupy in "Combine Mode", as on the left:

but as you can see below, the last Windows 11 update and Groupy 1.5 are not working fine together!

Yes, I noticed that issue too on my system when the OP started this thread. I've forwarded the issue again to Support team for their review on this issue. Hopefully it will be resolved update soon.

Thank you,

Yes this is very annoying. Is there a way to disable groupy on just file explorer windows (and temporarily use the Windows 11 new feature) until this is fixed?

I've just purchased Groupy2 and have noticed that there is just a double tab now with Windows Explorer. It seems like all of my apps except for Windows Explorer don't have a visible tab for 1 window. Unless I combine Windows Explorer with another window (EG: another Windows explorer window or some other application, like chrome) it should not have a tab on there with the new Windows 11 behavior (OS level integrated tabs).

It sounds like you have disabled the option in Groupy to replace the OS tabs in explorer.

Enabling that should leave you with single tab.
