I want to know how to set exceptions for platform's automatic update checker.
Because a newer version of gimp than GIMP Portable 2.10.6 Rev 2. won't work on my windows 7 32bit machine.
Now I'm using that version. But, every time the platform runs, the system tries to install bad version newer than that.
I want to stop automatic updating for a specific app.

Why is Portable chrome writing files to drive c:? I deleted the chrome folder (drive c:) and it came right back again. Tonight Google Update wouldn't run in startup.

Installation can be removed. I synchronize the mobile application directory via BtSync and when the file is moved, it will cause problems.

Hi, I have installed PortableApps Platform and several portable apps on my USB drive, but it just changed its icon/name and I can't undo this
Can someone help me ?
Thanks

I want to be able to directly start my TB's address book and used these instructions to add an app to the menu:

And these instructions to start the TB address book:

Hello, I can access the portable apps website from work, but when I install the portable apps application, it cannot get a list of apps. I assume my work's firewall is blocking it. So, I plan on downloading individual apps instead of using the portable apps application. Once I do that, how do I check for updates for individual apps?

I am not sure if "portable apps application" is the right term. I am referring to the app that shows up next to the clock to launch / install programs.

Thanks!

I want to move my entire folder of portableapps to a new drive, but before doing that I thought I'd ask here how to do this.
I mean is it safe to just move the "PortableApps" folder to a new location or should I treat some apps individually?

Doesn't seem to work? I have a portable version of RH (though not the portableapps version) and I am running it as an administrator. You can go through the motions of changing the exe's icon and it saves, but the icon doesn't change and both the new and backup exe's end up inoperable.

Not sure that it matters, but I am running Windows 10 LTSC.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know what things might naturally break in certain PortableApps when launching from WinPE?

It seems the more simple apps work, but a lot of things like most Browsers (not all) and more complicated apps don't seem to run at all. Sometimes there's a missing DLL or some other exception, or sometimes the splash screen shows up but the app doesn't launch.

Any clues what mandatory Windows files need to be present for All PortableApps to work, which may not be present on a WinPE build?
