Fixed Groupy 2 Myself – Chrome Tab Rabbits & Edge Logout Circus (No Coding, Just Cosmic Grit)
Hey Stardock Forum,
So… I asked for help with Groupy 2. I posted, I explained, I even philosophized. And what did I get? Mostly silence.
Except for one beacon of light—Neil Banfield. He dropped a single line:
“Right-click the saved group file to edit it.” That tip was gold. Without it, I wouldn’t have found the config file, and even Copilot would’ve been stuck philosophizing in the dark. So thank you, Neil. You didn’t fix the problem, but you handed me the map. I walked the rest of the desert myself.
🐇 Problem #1 – Chrome Tabs Multiplying Like Rabbits on Energy Drinks Groupy wasn’t just restoring tabs—it was cloning them. One tab became seven. Seven became seventy. I had Chrome windows breeding tabs like rabbits in springtime. Turns out, Groupy was stuffing the CommandLine
with repeated URLs like it was trying to win a duplication contest.
So I cracked open the .groupy
file (thanks again Neil), stared into the abyss, and manually cleaned every entry. Now? Each Chrome profile opens exactly one tab. No clones. No chaos. Just digital zen.
🎪 Problem #2 – Edge Logout Circus Every time I reopened grouped Edge windows, it logged me out of everything. Twitter? Gone. Gmail? Vanished. I even got a page full of numbers—like Edge was trying to send me encrypted poetry.
So I’m now crafting a workaround to let Edge restore itself natively, without Groupy’s interference. Spoiler: I’ll fix this too. Without help. Again. While sipping coffee and listening to cosmic jazz.
🎓 Credentials? I’m 55. Not a developer. Not a programmer. Not even a university graduate. Just a full-time merchant. But I manage over 150 email accounts, and within each one, I run dozens of specialized social media profiles—each focused on a distinct branch of cosmic knowledge.
My main battlefield? Twitter, since 2008. I’ve spent 30 years browsing, averaging 10 hours a day. So yes, I know tabs. I know sessions. And now, apparently, I know how to fix Groupy better than the support team.
I teamed up with Microsoft Copilot (who actually listens and doesn’t ghost you), and together we solved what the forum mostly ignored. If anyone else is drowning in tab duplication or Edge logout drama, I’m happy to share the method.
No code required. Just curiosity, precision, and a bit of philosophical flair
