Hey everybody.
Every once in a while, my portable Chrome will not start because for the following reason.

I don't know why this happens as it's neither updating nor did I make changes on my computer. It just won't work again.
Reinstalling Visual C++ or the .net Framework doesn't help either.
Does anybody know why this happens and how I can resolve this error?

Thank you

PortableApps (currently version 13.0) starts very slow when I start it the first time after a reboot of my computer.
It takes more than 25 seconds, till the apps appear in portable apps window.
When I stop PortbleApps and start it a second time (and third time or even more often) without rebooting my computer inbetween, it takes only less than 2 seconds till apps appear.
What is the reason for this behaviour? I have switched off searching for updates, all of my apps and PortableApps platform are current versions.

I only wanted to open a media file in VLC, and now i have to ask permission?

What is going on and why, it has never happened before i upgraded to Windows 10.

My portable apps have been updated along the way but this is unprecedented behavior I believe.

Community needs to address the issue, and fast

Hi folks,
I don't know why, but i couldn't receive any updates because when i clicked on "Search Updates", the platforms says to me that the Updating process were yet on processin.
Since that i couldn't update anything, I unistalled it but when I've tried to install it again, it shows me lots of error due to errors in extraction.
How can i solve it? It's happened yet but i formatted the pc so this problem solved "automatically"...

Please, it's very useful for me, it's the best way to use portable apps and to have them updated every time.

Hi,
I am using the latest version of Google Chrome Portable on my Windows PC (Windows 10 - 64bit)
The software is not stealth IMHO because there are some files and a registry entry left behind after closing Chrome.

It is really annoying that Portale Apps never upgrades WSCC to a new version!
It is only when you want to update the programs in WSCC that you get a message that there is a new version.
You have to download the new version yourself. Then it is a bit tricky to upgrade in Portable Apps...

Hi!

I wanted an old portable version of Foxit Reader. But I couldn't find it here. So I had to download it from an unknown, unfamiliar website. I ran into this issue a couple times before.

Why even remove old versions? There are many reasons one might need an old version.
In which case a portable version is highly desirable, so that one doesn't mess up the configuration for the newer version of the same software that's already installed on the system.

I use a portable app and would like it to open with a particular workspace, I save it within the app, but when I exit it and restart it, the workspace is nowhere to be found and I have to set it up all over again. Is this option not possible?

Hi,

Can't run exe files from USB Drive.

How can I change the setting in windows 10 to be able to run it.

Regards.

I am using keepass 2 which I copied into a portableapps-keepass1 installation (found that hint somewhere).

Now, when a new keepass1 version is coming out, I am always in danger of having my keepass2 overwritten.

Thanks!
