Can't activate window when clicking on tab bar

July 14, 2023 10:17:52 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi!

I have an annoying problem with Groupy 2, i can't activate window when I click on tab bar area. Any solution? It only works when I open a new tab but not when only one tab is used. Didn't have that problem with the previous version of Groupy. It's obviously a bug, could you please fix it?

Hi again!

After having used it for several days now, I can tell you that it happens from time to time. After a reboot it works fine but after a while, like a half an hour or so, it acts weirdly. So apparently it doesn't happen immediately, it happens after a while. I'm thinking about to go back to previous version. Hope you guys discover those bugs and make it more stable.

Thanx in advance

I can't reproduce it, so that is why I am asking for more information on your system. Please, we need information, as mention in that link given above,:

  1. Windows full version numbers. Use Winver.exe
  2. Start11 version numbers.

Thank you,

Hi!

Oh sry, well I'm using Windows 11 Version 22H2 (OS-version 22621.1992) and Start 11 version v1.47. There has been a miracle suddenly it works fine now it could be cos I ran sfc /scannow and dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. Looks stable now so far, the only thing that doesn't is the "open new tab button" on explorer. Most of the time it works fine but not always, it doesn't bother me too much cos I have found an easy solution, just minimize the window and get it back: problem solved temporarily.

Hi, unfortunately I have some bad news, the problem of not being able to activate the window when clicking on the tab bar remains. I have uninstalled it several times, nothing has worked. I think it's strange that it works fine for you but not for me. Have tested disableing a lot of autostart program, no difference. It feels hopeless, I don't know what else I can do than doing a new install of Windows OS.

Please try cleanboot: https://forums.stardock.com/488142/groupy-support-faq#cleanboot. This should check if there is something wrong with your current Admin account and conflict with other starting application.

Thank you,

Hi!

I think I have found another weird behaviour, when I click on the close button at upper right corner, it closes only one tab, not all tabs at once. I already have activated "Show a close all tabs button on the tab bar when tabs are above the window" and thats the only one close all tabs function I can find or is there another one for integrated tabs also? It worked fine before, I don't know what happened, I might have deactivated something by accident.

Close all tabs button doesn't work for me

I joined this forum to report this issue and found out the top thread is about it.  I like Groupy as a concept, but this is a deal-breaker.  Using Start 11 with Windows 11 Pro.  All updates to the OS and Start11 have been installed.

Hello mr_vico,

One issue at a time please, have you tried the Cleanboot yet? Was the issue resolved?

Hello csc14usa,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Did you saw the same issue on your system? If you do, please provide information asked for above and try those steps suggested. Report back when you're done.

Thanks

Nah, when paid software doesn't work, I just uninstall it and move on. When the bug is fixed, I'll take another look at Groupy.

There are settings in Groupy 2.1 for controlling what integrated close buttons do.  If you do not have that version I recommend updating.
