Since I'm using Chrome Portable I thought the program wasn't supposed to mention in the options that an update is available?

Is there a way to prevent it mentioning that an update is available?

Up until this Win10 build, you could always setup portableapps as a default app using:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\

And also adding their registry key path here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications

Then you needed the standard
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\
and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

Ex.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxMAFF
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxMHTML
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxPortableHTML
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxPortableURL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxPortable

hi,i'm after some portable software that can do business type cards ,and i've not been able to find anything,does anybody have any suggestions,cheers in advance

I recently lost my motherboard in my laptop but the harddrive is still intact. I need to be able to access all files as though they are physically on the C:\. As a standard external harddrive I can access files but I can not run my major application or editors like: Microsoft office, Visual Studios, DVD Cloner, AVS and several other applications that were installed several years ago. The files were installed on a Windows 7 machine but I am now running Windows 10 on this new laptop.

Increasing the menu size or number of menu items from 19 in small font via a number specified in a user variable in the .INI file settings would be a really nice not to mention easy feature to implement.

I would like to at least double the size since my PortableApps menu is a catch all for all the programs I do not wish install into Windows and its Start Menu but have a lot of favourites in consequence..

Attached are my Stardock Start10 Windows Start Menu replacement and PortableApps Menus for comparison as I rebuild my Windows CU after a crash...

Hi:
On on of my computers, A Dell laptop, Windows 7, 8gb Ram, 250gb hard disk, Intel Core I7 first of second generation (yes it is generally slow), I find that, after downloading an application update, the installation hangs in the middle and doesn't install. On my other computer and on my USB thumb drive, it updates the PortableApps platform without difficulty.

So my question is whether anyone has a suggestion regarding how to to fix this problem?

Thanks
Jojo

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum.

I have used Portable Apps for years with much success. I am a big fan of programs that do not write to the registry and use little resources.
I am working on converting a Android TV Box to a PC. This will be used as a mini workstation for office functions. I could put the Apps on a USB or a SD card. This will be mostly used for: Office, Firefox, a photo viewer, Printing, Photoshop etc. The other stuff like Kodi and all of the TV tools would be removed. Can someone give me a little direction on this project? Can this even work at all?

Thought you may like to know that TinyTask v1.61 was released 2 days ago, but the download is still invalid.

What's the story?

For some reason the built-in VPN in Opera won't work on my Windows 7 PC. It will only work when I run it inside a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. Does anybody know why that is or how to fix it?
