Groupy failed to launch, error "Windows cannot open this type of file (.exe)"

Hi,

When I click enable in Groupy settings, I get an error message: "Windows cannot open this type of file (.exe)".

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software using Purgebat, but the problem has not been resolved.

May I ask is there a solution?

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. First, 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.

If the issue still appear, need to know few more details.

  1. Windows 11 24H2 OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get this number.
  2. Any reason you're not updating to latest Windows 11 25H2? If possible, please try update to latest official Windows 11 released.

Thank you,

Basj,
