General Discussion

I cannot download and install any apps because I am behind two routers and I cannot find the way to uninstall this portableapps.com Platform. Please help me.

It's hard to explain but my problem is that some windows in front blocks the click of the rear window. I can only click with the right button to "unblock" access again.

This doesn't happen with ALL apps, but a lot of them. "Always on Top" PowerToys is disabled, FacyZones too. There's NO "Pin" software installed. It's a PITA because I can't work correctly some times.

For example, PortableApps plataform works this way, "Always on Top"... Google Chrome Portable too...

HELP!

I'm using Win11 here.... any1?

a suggestion for the main portable app loader

I recently (march 23rd) noticed a new (to me) accent on the PA logo, in the menu. I thought it might be for easter. When I went digging, it's named "logo-accent-noisemaker". Might this be for Purim (march 6/7)? Just curious. Thanks!

Good day,

Firstly, I'm wondering where can I find hash sums (MD5/SHA256) of some legacy portable apps which do not have dedicated "legacy" pages like Firefox/Chrome? I'll explain what I mean. Let's say if we visit this page:

https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/krita-portable

We think of portable apps as self-contained, but that isn't necessarily true if they write to the registry.
So the question is, can apps from portableapps.com or the portableapps platform write to the registry?

So far, I've been checking that my apps are portable by putting them in the D: drive, and seeing if they run, and don't write to AppData. Are these all the checks I need to make, or is there some technicality that could mean the app still isn't portable?

It is brilliant that the PA PLATFORM updates-as-soon-as needed.

Recently that has been "very frequent" ( = more than once in a month).

BUT should we also, at the same time, have to update PA apps that work perfectly well already?

WHAT am I suggesting? ... That the APPS menu is like this ...

* Check for Platform Updates
* Check for App Updates

You see the point?

Very best wishes

I have used PortableApps for years already.

Recent updates to the PLATFORM have done ONE great thing: IMPROVE LOAD PERFORMANCE.

My PA has hundreds of PAs and wanted apps (WAs).
Over years it got SLOW LOADING (up to 135 seconds) of 134 app links..

Recent PLATFORM UPDATES gives me LOAD of 15 seconds.
THAT is astonishing.

Thank YOU!

I recently updated Thunderbird from a fairly old version.

When I now run Thunderbird portable it does not use the saved passwords - it asks to reenter the email id and password.

Is this the expected behavior or have I messed up the update ?
