Parsec hosting crashes Groupy completely !

from Stardock Forums

If youre not familiar with the program "Parsec" it's a remote-desktop program similar to "AnyDesk" or "TeamViewer".

As soon as a screen share is hosted, Groupy completely crashes (all windows within tabs are closed). Tested it a few times and it happened every time.

Please fix !

Thank you for your time

Hi Basj,

My Windows version number from winver.exe is " Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4751) "

The version of " GroupySrv.exe " is 2.1.5.0
The version of all other groupy executables (GroupyCtrl, GroupyConfig, etc) says 2.2.0.1

Thank you kindly !

If you have access to those other like apps, AnyDesk or TeamViewer, do those also crash Groupy 2?

Hello,
Sorry I only have used / tried Parsec -

But sorry I realized, it's actually not that Groupy is "crashing" when a screenshare is hosted, it's that all tabbed windows are told to close, very strange.

Groupy is still running, but all grouped windows are instantly closed upon hosting.

Thank you sincerely for your help & fantastic programs.
