PortableApps.com Platform

The 1.9.4 version of XnViewMP Portable which is at https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/xnview-mp-portable was uploaded 9/29/20025 and the Legacy version for 32-bit systems has sub-directory issues described below.

The link at https://portableapps.com/news/2025-02-19--xnview-mp-portable-1.8.6-released downloads 1.9.4

Is there a link to 1.8.6 that I can download?

It has been several years since I have done anything with a Computer/Laptop.
The Laptop I have is saying I can't install this while in S Mode.
How do I get around this? And is it a bad thing to do?

During an update installing PortableApps.com installer shows all installer windows underneath the last application window that had focus. i have windows 11, avast antivirus, and windows taskbar window flashing turned off. on portable apps i have app not showing in windows taskbar but in the task tray. this has been happening since the last bunch of updates not sure how far back, i check for updates manually using the app check for update option. other applications do not have this issue.

I have been trying to upgrade to the newest release. The Windows 11 virus scan indicates that the Torrent software embedded in the Portable Platform has malware. As a result the updater download is cancelled. I downloaded the update from Source Forge and Windows virus scan deleted it with a message indicating it was not valid software. I am doing this on my locked down corporate computer. I don't have access to any other Windows machine to try the update.

On trying to update PortableApps.com_Platform from installed VERSION 30.0.4 Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects

Hi everyone,
I want to be able to force portable apps to go through VPN.

I am using PIA which allows split tunneling (i.e. force only some some apps to use VPN) and it generally works fine except for the case of portable apps. For example, I am setting "FirefoxPortable.exe" to go through PIA, but it does not work, it uses my actual IP.

Any ideas what I should do are welcome.

Thanks in advance

The OS is Windows 11 24H2.

I'm just curious.

With no portable apps running. there is still cpu usage when it is in idle.
It seems to be polling for something.

What's the .exe is doing? What causes it?
Is it by design? Why?

Is there any way to reduce it to none?
