Stardock Anmeldelser 

Allows me to open multiple desktop apps with one or two clicks -- total of 8 in groups of two, each on own monitor. Others can be added with a right click.

Great forum support.

I cannot live without Groupy, and have been unable to live without many of the StarDoc Windows improvements since the early days of WindowBlinds. Thanks StarDock!

I bought software from them, but I can't download it as it's "no longer available to download from us."

I tried contacting their support but they don't do anything and refuse to refund me.

I've been using Groupy for many years, and it has helped me keep my desktop so much tidier and organized. I can create one or several groups and easily see all the open apps in tabs. Over the years, it's become very stable and easy to manage.

The features of the app help increase my productivity.

I contacted Stardock for support for Start11 because of two significant problems with it installed on a computer running Windows 11 25H2. I found that Support for Start11 is ONLY by a Community Forum. The persons I have dealt with have been unhelpful and even made silly responses.

As I recall, I called Stardock and pushed every button for perhaps every option and was not able to speak to ANYONE. I don't remember for sure if I was even able to leave a message. I cannot recommend them at all because of their lack of professional support for their own product!

Good software product - use it every day - one keeps the desktop clear by adding relevant things into virtual folders - Groupy allows grouping of multiple windows, which is very useful for everyday use.

I recommend Stardock software ;-)

ease of use, quality of backgrounds.

Groupy from Stardock solves a problem we shouldn't even have. But it does a stellar job. It groups different apps in one window with tabs which allows you have a tidy virtual workspace. I use it with File Explorer (it's still better than the native solution), Office Apps, VS Code and others. Integrates well with dark and light themed apps too. I started using it a few years ago, and it's still relevant today.

It works well on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 and remains very purposeful—especially on Windows 11. There are lots of great options to choose from, and it provides strong window management controls that help reduce application clutter. I highly recommend it for developers.

That said, I have one major issue: Command Prompt windows. When the app auto-groups tabs, every new Command Prompt window gets grouped, and then it auto-scrolls through all open Command Prompt windows. I’m not sure what’s triggering it (maybe repeated scroll/return events), but it’s very annoying. Strangely, this does not happen with PowerShell—only Command Prompt.

Also, on Windows 10, performance can degrade when using Explorer tab groupings. It can bog down the system and causes frequent refreshing—especially noticeable with network shares. I’ve also seen Device Manager constantly refresh while this is happening. This issue seems specific to Windows 10.

Lastly, I’ve tried to report these issues, but support has been difficult to reach or communicate with.

I really like, it makes me work easilly

The nasty, disgusting practice of giving the middle finger to customers who decide to purchase lifetime licenses. If you think that a lifetime license includes all updates to THE SAME product, you are sorely mistaken—during updates, they will add a ridiculous suffix to the name and call it a completely new program. Examples? Start11 - they created a new version and added the suffix “v2” and treat it as a new product for which they are asking for money again. Fences - it was “3,” now they've added the suffix “v6” and are asking for money again. And the bugs are still there, and they are in no hurry to fix them, under any circumstances... Buying any license from them is a bad joke...

Purchased a 5 Pack. First 3 installs went okay and worked on all 3 computers. The fourth install? NOPE! TOTALLY SCREWED UP THE COMPUTER. HAD TO REINSTALL THE OS FROM SCRATCH! Spent hours trying to fix and no go!, Downloaded a newer version from Stardock. NOPE - didn't work. Don't waste you money on this!

Spent several hours over 2 days researching my issue since writing my first review. I stand by my comment/recommendation in my initial review to 'NOT PURCHASE' your product. Full disclosure is in order here because the 'problem' is not with your software. The issue is
an update from Microsoft that now prevents your start menu app from installing in the first place. It also prevents comparable apps from other developers from installing. i.e. Open/Classic Shell, StartAllBack and ExplorerPatcher as well as your app. Tried all of the above and it's a no-go. My apologies for the strong review... but check it out. It's an easy search online on the subject and,, I have lots of customers who are upset about it.

Fences works extremely well, I love the auto-organize and the hide double-click features. ive had this product for about 5 years with all the updates etc. I dont find alot of use for the other stardock apps in my suite but fences is very useful.

Paid full price, getting ADS to update to the latest version of fences DAILY with no option to delay or dismiss it
You cannot have forceful pop ups I cannot dismiss for a long time, especially in a PAID PRODUCT

The support person made the experience great. He kept on until it was truly fixed.

Just the variety of windows backgrounds says enough. Combine this with Stardock fences and its pure gold.
