So I did some further testing. Somehow after another round of purging and cleaning the registry I got the Groupy Reg entry under Software. Yes :-) Still certain saved groups refuse to work. What I tested: Mozilla Firefox + Google Chrome > works Libre Office Calc + Java based software > does not work, only LO is started Firefox + Libre Office Calc > does not work, both programs are launched but not as a group Adobe Lightroom + Photo Mechanic > does not work,

I had \Software\Stardock\Fences before but before taking the above screenshots I deinstalled all Stardock software, cleaned up the registry and reinstalled Groupy. So the above shows the state after a fresh, clean install. No, I do not have any apps running that restrict writing Reg files, nor any AV software other than Windows Defender. I only use a normal windows user account with no admin rights. Whenever I install a software I am asked to enter my admin password via the windows U

After another purge of Groupy and Fences plus a decent registry cleanup I reinstalled Groupy. As you can see there is no Stardock entry although Groupy is installed. These are all registry entries that contain the word "Stardock" <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/96/6996205/138a23d4-e070-4297-a1b4-77c249da349d.jpg" alt="" width=

Thank you for your replies. Let's start from the top: even after purging and a clean install I do not have a registry entry for Groupy. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Groupy is not existing. Only HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences exits because I also purchased Fences. During my initial trial I added "explorer.exe"

Well, I guess that's it for me and Groupy. I really like the idea of the software but if I can't use it in the intended way it's a bummer. It would have been nice to have been provided the Reg Entry for me to try.

No news? I assume it might correlate with the missing registry entry. Would it be possible to post the entry here so I could enter it manually and see what happens?

Thank you, Basj. I am about to go through the whole process again. One further thing I noticed it that groupyPurge.bat shows an error that the registry key or value is missing. EDIT: I just installed groupy on a laptop (Win 10 x64 1909) and got the same results: saved groups not working, registry entry non existent.

Followed the instructions and purged, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted and nothing has changed. Groupy still does not open up the saved groups. One thing I noticed is that even after reinstalling the registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Groupy" is missing. Is it not entered during installation? Where is the info stored about which programs should automatically be grouped? Although I purged and reinstalled the "explorer.exe" is still automatically there. &

One addition that is most likely not related to my issues. Here is the screenshot of the de-installation window I get. I guess this is not really the way it is supposed to be.

I gave it one more try. Reinstalled Groupy, removed all traces I could find and reinstalled it. To my surprise "explorer.exe" was still in the menu as to not group automatically. I have no idea where this setting was saved. After the reinstall the behavior still has not changed. Here are the two saved groups. If this group is opened both programs are opened but not grouped: [GroupyEntry1] OwnerProcess=C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe RunEl

Hello, after some successful testing I purchased Groupy. Now I have the problem that saved groups do not work. Two different behaviors: either only one program is opened or both but not grouped. When e.g. Libre Office Calc is grouped with a small Java program only the Libre Office is opened. If I group Libre Office and Firefox both are opened but not as a group. I tried de- and reinstall but to no avail. Even tried to clean every trace of Groupy from drive c: and
