PortableApps.com Platform

What's the point of the documents folder? Do some of the apps that can be installed somehow require it?

Why does the platform have a setup app, rather than simply being downloaded as a zip file? What requires the setup app?

The download URL for v29.5.3 points to the previous version.

After completing an update, when I tried to close the platform, this was the response

After waiting a while, and several attempts, I eventually had to use the task manager.

Hi,

Not sure if it is me or is there a problem downloading apps. I have used different browsers (Vivaldi, Floorp) but the download simply stopped midway.

Tried downloading a few apps but all ended up the same way - stopped midway.

Has been like that for the past 2 days already.

Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks

I'm curious if it would be possible to allow Windows to close the updater window as part of its shutdown procedure.

Case 1:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Portable Apps platform.
2. Click the apps button
3. Click Check for updates
4. Updater pop-up shows apps that have updates available
5. Go to Windows start menu, click the power button, and select shut down

Expected behaviour
The portable app updater window is closed, and Windows successfully shuts down.

Hi,
I'd like to block PortableApps platform updates, but still to be able to update all apps. Is it possible?

When I open portable apps, it starts at the top right corner of the monitor.
I then move it down to the bottom right location of the monitor.
Upon shutting down and restart, portable apps returns to the top right corner of the monitor.
This is a recent issue and did not exist prior to February 2024.
This appears to have started with portableApps 29.3
PortableApps 29.5
Windows 8.1 64bit
Single monitor

So can't find the answer I am looking for.

When I load PA the box comes up to update the platform.

I click and the message comes up to close all instances.

If I close all instances (Portable Apps) then the box to update also closes!!!!

What am I doing wrong?
