Groupy won't open Microsoft Office apps from Saved Groups.

I followed the instructions to the "T." No success.

Did you obtain your version of office 365 from the Microsoft store in Windows or via some other route?

I believe it was from the Microsoft Store. Might be worth a shot to delete those and redownload...

I tried redownloading Office 365 and restarted my PC, but that fixed nothing.

Hello,

I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations.

Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.

This is what jumps out at me...

Target="C:\Users\bento\OneDrive\Desktop\Data Files\College\@ Classes\Semester 2\ENG 206HN"

That you are opening from a OneDrive / sync's folder..

As a test, if you move / copy a few files from there, to the desktop, open them, save to a group in Groupy, then re-open, does it work?

I tried copying the files to the home screen and that didn't work. I also tried moving those files to My PC > Documents. It also didn't work. In my group, I had one File Explorer tab and two Word Documents. When I opened the group, the File Explorer tab opened, but not Word. When I clicked the files in the folder, the documents opened in the group. The program remembered that they were in the group, but did not open them for me. Any more ideas?

Hello,

Please post your new saved group with the word files inside your local folder.

Thank You,

That didn't work...

Which is? Need more details for us to help you.

I put the word files from my saved group inside my local folder, but the Word files still did not open with the rest of the group.

Hello,

Please Copy & Paste that new groupy here.
