How to make sure that the settings of a portable app are maintained after a reboot?
I'll try and keep this short and concise. My portabe apps menu is only half the length it should be. Each time I start it it appears the same. The only way I can workaround it is to go to options>theme> click any theme and then the menu appears the correct length. This is only temporary and next time I start PA platform the issue persists.
The 'Keep menu visible after starting apps' setting is not saved after the platform restart.

Hi!
I need portable chrome version 73.0.3683.103, because this is the only one I can run on a offline computer from my workplace.
How can I get it?
Hi,
I checked the forum but didn't see my issue. I have portable apps platform installed on a xSDXC card that I insert into an USB adapter. Over the last week, the Portable Apps platform will not load. I terminated the instance of PA in the Taskmgr and ran the platform installer. Once it was finished I tried it and nothing, any ideas? Thx
PortableApps Showing wrong Licence file during installation
KCleaner and DUMo are both showing SUMo licence when installing PA package.
Original installers from KC Softwares are not affected.

Anyway quick way to force portableapps to disregard any -stored apps's config files/settings¸ se we can run any of our bundled apps on a any new machines without having those saved config conflicting with the new environment ?
I've never found neither a "Settings Profile" features, nor any per-Apps's "Reset Stored Config" or " ...
Sorry for the horrible english.
Thanks
Here are two issues (I see that part with power loss issue is under tracking but have an extra opinion - feel free to merge with other similar thread if exists)
1 - dialog that states "App did not close properly last time" is not really actionable. Mean you cannot cancel cleanup, this is just informational. So proper behavior should be - cleanup data, do not show the dialog. Probably Platform should check for such "dirty" data and clean it up on start.
Was not able to find request so writing it down here, merge it if needed.
One of the most annoying things in Platform - is too many unneeded confirmations.
For ex. I need to click all the time to update all apps (never skipping updates) and then check that they are updated and specifically click "Finish" on an empty screen.
Will be great to introduce completely silent updates or at least remove unneeded confirmation to close the updater.
Solution could be in one or 2 checkboxes.
The Portable App Directory lists "FastStone Capture via fscPortable" at the end of the "Games" category, out of alphabetical order and in the wrong category, instead of in the correct "Graphics and Pictures" category.
