PortableApps.com Platform

I have been using PortableApps.com off and on for years and usually with no issues what so ever. However, today I had it kinda wig out on me. I haven't close and relaunched the app because I kinda think its cool but also kinda want it back to normal lol.

I use Portable Apps on a USB stick. However, I use different operating systems, ranging from Windows 7 to Windows 11. For some applications, however, I cannot use the automatic start feature, as they do not run on all operating systems.
Is there a way to launch the appropriate version of an application when it starts? Similar to 32-bit and 64-bit?

Windows 11 Pro 24H2
Portabel Apps 30.4 on USB stick

I use the automatic start-up feature for a few useful tools. Unfortunately, some of these tools (on Windows 11) increasingly require administrator rights.
Is there a way to configure the automatic start-up to use administrator rights? Or do I have to do without the automatic start-up feature?

The NSIS Portable download doesn't seem to download correctly in the app software center, it's suggesting an incomplete download or other network issue. I doubt it's my network as trying to download directly from the site it's fine and other apps in the software center seems to install correctly, at least that I can see. Suggests the location programmed into the app center might be incorrect or ending the download.

I have a PortableApps.com Installation, but when i start the start.exe its loads the menu but only shows it för a millisecount, than it vanished and a PortableApps.com Windows Popup ,that is transparent. This is also hapening on other PortableApps.com Versions and other Portableapps.com installations. What shoud i do now?

Hello, I am a long time user of Portable Apps Thunderbird on Windows 10.

I recently purchased a Windows 11 notebook and tried to install Thunderbird. Unfortunately I received an error message that the computer could not support the 16 bit program.

This is to ask if there is a work around, or is there going to be a windows 11 compatible version of Thunderbird. (hopefully soon)

Alternatively, do you have an alternative Portable version of another similar e-mail program, or can you recommend such a product.

Thanks for maintaining the Portable Apps platform.

This MUST have been discussed before, but I couldn’t find anything from a forum search. On my PA installation, the Music and Pictures links go to the USB folders, correctly, but the Videos button goes to the Windows Video folder instead. I keep PA up-to-date. I have had this problem for years, but thought I would find out if there’s a solution… ?

Hi,

(I don't know if this is normal or a bug, and I've wanted to report it for a long time, but I never got around to it...)

I have put the "include the 32-bit versions --> never" since this feature was introduced.

But every time there's an app update (for an app that supports 32-bit architecture), the update window has the “Include 32-bit version” option pre-checked. (As if it were ignoring the option in the main menu...)

Merci,
