Hello,

here the specifications :

Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Build 19044.3086 (21H2)

Groupy 2.0

Best Regards,

Hi,

I will make the Windows update later, so we will see.

Where I can get the Groupy 2 BETA 2 version ? The check button tell's me - there is no update available.

btw. I was using the BETA previously (same behavior as non BETA version).

Best Regards,

I reported this issue with the initial release of Groupy2Beta1 on Windows 10 - 19045.3030. It is still an issue with the General Release. Any interaction with the taskbar icon, regardless of the setting for "How should taskbar buttons for grouped windows appear?" I have tried a clean boot and the issue persists. I am also running Start11 - 1.45.

Current system Windows 10 - 19045.3086

Neither Sean or Basj have been able to reproduce this issue, so it must be something specific to our systems. We are running different versions of Windows 10, so it's not that. Something is interfering somewhere. If we can find an app or utility that we have in common, perhaps we can figure this out. Send me a private message with apps you're running which you think might be causing this, and I will reply with my list.

Looking foreword to hearing from you.

Basj,

Try this on your Windows 10 system and let me know what happens.

In the Windows 10 Taskbar settings, set "Combine taskbar buttons to "Never."

Now in the Groupy2 settings, set the following:

Place tabs above; Show all taskbar buttons; Always visible tabs

Now open two or three explorer windows in a group.

If I click only the buttons, everything works as expected, but as soon as I click on one of the taskbar thumbnails, the issue discussed above begins to happen.

Thanks, pelaird

Thanks for taking the time to create this video. It’s just crazy that the OP and my systems are unique in this issue. I will continue to work with the OP to try and trace the cause of this issue. I have purged and reinstalled to no avail. Something is causing this, but it’s difficult to trace.

Thanks again. 

Installed Groupy2 in a Sandbox as you suggested and everything works as expected. I will continue to try and isolate the issue on my system.

Update: I installed Groupy2 on a Windows 11 test machine and it exhibited the same behavior as discussed above. I uninstalled one app after another with a restart in between each and then tested Groupy2 for the issue. After uninstalling all third party apps and all non-OS installed Windows Apps, the issue continued. This machine had Groupy1.5 installed prior to installing Groupy2.

I then wiped the test machine and did a clean install of Windows 10 - 19045.3086, followed by a fresh installed Groupy2. Everything works as expected.

I plan to start adding apps one at a time until the issue reappears. I will report back with my findings.

Update after adding all my apps: The issue above has not resurfaced.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe a remnant of Groupy1.5 must be hiding somewhere on the system or in the Registry that could be causing this issue. as I said both machines had Groupy1.5 installed prior to installing Groupy2.
