I purged, rebooted, freshly downloaded Groupy, installed it, & rebooted. The behavior of a group containing Acrobat Pro DC is the same as before: Acrobat locks up the group when maximized & behaves normally when not maximized. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have trouble with a Group which includes Adobe Acrobat if the window is maximized. If the window is not maximized, the Group behaves as desired, that is, I can switch between apps in the group and the Windows cursor behaves normally. If the window is maximized, the cursor typically locks up, and I can't switch to another app in the group. Sometimes using Window Detective to set WIN_EX_APPWINDOW causes the cursor to resume normal behavior. <span style="font-size: 16px; background-col

I've had more experience with the window styles of Acrobat. The WS_EX_APPWINDOW style resets to off soon after I set it to on. It won't stay on.
Groupy works better if I use Windows Detective to set WS_EX_APPWINDOW on the main Acrobat window. However, the WS_EX_APPWINDOW attributes reverts to unset whenever the computer returns from hibernation or reboots.

I found the setting that causes program icons ("all the open windows") to appear on all desktops. This is the behavior that I would like to co-exist with your wonderful ungroup feature. I understand if it's not possible to support.
My experience of Win 10 and Win 11 with the native taskbar is different from yours. You say, "the icons on the taskbar relate to the windows on that desktop only." In my experience of Win 10 & 11, the icons in the taskbar remain the same regardless of which desktop is active. Hence in native Windows, following the setup which I mentioned in my original post, when the "mail" desktop is active, I can see the icon for the Python IDE in the taskbar and can switch to the "Python" desktop by cl
I have multiple desktops: mail is on one, browser on another, python IDE on a third. If the python desktop is active, the browser icons are not visible on either taskbar. If the browser desktop is active, the python IDE icon is not visible. Therefore, I can't switch to another program by clicking on an icon in taskbar. Windows 11 21H2
