Automatic Updates

Hello Again everyone:

Now and then, I run across a problem with my portable apps. I am using the 11.2 version, and am unable to update my apps.

Last night I saw a lot of automatic updates for the portable apps I have in my menu on my USB drive, (16 gig) so, I clicked to install the updates. I received a confirmation massage that the updates were available in the menu. I thought no more about it. I shut down my computer, and unplugged the USB drive as usual.
This afternoon, I turned on my computer and plugged in my USB drive. The same updates from last night popped up again; I clicked to install the updates again, and the message popped up that they were available in the menu. To make sure that they installed this time, I ran the update manually, and the same updates appeared for installation;

Can anyone tell me why the updates weren't automatically

installed?
