Groupy works better if I use Windows Detective to set WS_EX_APPWINDOW on the main Acrobat window. However, the WS_EX_APPWINDOW attributes reverts to unset whenever the computer returns from hibernation or reboots.

I've had more experience with the window styles of Acrobat. The WS_EX_APPWINDOW style resets to off soon after I set it to on. It won't stay on.

Why are you changing those window styles exactly?

See Post #1 in thread:

When I add Acrobat to a group, the cursor freezes, the app doesn't dock into the Group & I can't switch to another app in the group.

winver = 21H2 22000.675
Groupy = 1.50
Acrobat Pro = 2022.001.20117

I have trouble with a Group which includes Adobe Acrobat if the window is maximized. If the window is not maximized, the Group behaves as desired, that is, I can switch between apps in the group and the Windows cursor behaves normally. If the window is maximized, the cursor typically locks up, and I can't switch to another app in the group. Sometimes using Window Detective to set WIN_EX_APPWINDOW causes the cursor to resume normal behavior.

winver = 21H2 22000.795
Groupy = 1.50
Acrobat Pro = 2022.001.20117

Would you do this PURGE: https://forums.stardock.com/488142/groupy-support-faq#reinstalling

Reboot and ReInstall the latest version from your product page https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products/

Reboot test and report back .

I purged, rebooted, freshly downloaded Groupy, installed it, & rebooted. The behavior of a group containing Acrobat Pro DC is the same as before: Acrobat locks up the group when maximized & behaves normally when not maximized.

Thanks for the suggestion!
