Groupy doesn't work with Outlook

from Stardock Forums

Hello,
Groupy 2 works fine on my notebook with Windows 11 and Start11. Excel and Word and Explorer group windows perfectly, but Outlook does nothing, even not, if I add Outlook.exe to the allowed applications list:

Can somebody tell me, why and what have I to do to make it working?

 

Thank you for your help.

Michael

Try this,

Manually Group Outlook with Word or any application. Once it is grouped. With Outlook Groupy tab active, click on The Groupy control tab down arrow->Personalise tab->Click on "Always show tabs for this type of window. This should make Groupy tab appear every time you open Outlook. Refer screenshot below.

Thank you,

You can't group Outlook together with any other application since your blocked it here. From your screenshot above. You will need to remove outlook from that list.

Hi Basj,
thank you, now it works!
But I have a last question:


The tabs in the red frame are the only thing, man needs. Is there a way with Windows-tools, Start11 or Groupy to suppress the thumbnails in the green frame?

Thank you for your help

From what I know, those taskbar thumbnail preview is not control by Groupy or Start11. Those control by Windows itself. If you search the internet you can find some steps to disable it.

The goal, I wanted to reach can be simply reached by selecting this option:

instead of the left one, I had first selected.

Those only for taskbar buttons, have nothing to do with thumbnail preview.
