Windows randomly minimise and won't restore

August 16, 2023 2:06:36 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Since installing Stardock apps, some of my open windows will randomly minimise. When I click on an open Outlook email (tabbed under Groupy) for example, Outlook sometimes minimises and it can take four or five attempts to restore any of the open emails or the main inbox. Just now I had three explorer (actually Directory Opus) windows open on the taskbar but I could not restore any of them. I had to shut them all down by right-click and Close, then I could open a new instance.

This started happening after installing Groupy 2, which was the first Stardock app I installed, but I have installed other Stardock apps since then so I cannot be sure which is/are the culprit.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening and how to stop it?

Thanks, Stephen

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I can't pin point which of those Stardock is having conflicting effect with your other 3rd party software installed. What you can do is uninstall every one of Stardock Software. Reboot and reinstall one Object Desktop software at a time. Test it out and see if any issue appear. While you testing it, get used to the software features. Learn the features etc. Install another one, once everything is working as you expected. Repeat until you have all the software you wish to use. That way, you will not be overwhelmed with all features from all Stardock software all at once.

Also, it is best to make sure to reboot immediately after installation finish, every time you installed a software.

Thanks
