Shutdown button instead of Eject button

Submitted by gwt10 on January 30, 2025 - 9:56am

I copied on to a new USB stick using a current backup from a stored desktop, and after it completed installing, I launched the Start button to get the menu to pop up, and I see that I got a Shutdown button instead of Eject button instead. When I click on the Shutdown button, it's asking me if I want to shutdown Windows or not. I don't want that. Not at all.

Submitted by NDL on January 14, 2025 - 10:05am

Every time I open the Launcher I get a small popup saying 'File Access Denied', if I click ok it goes away and I can open apps, if I do not click it I cannot use the PortablaApps.

Happens on one computer but not others.

Running off a 32gb Ironkey formatted to FAT32

[Fixed] Firefox 134 Download Incomplete

Submitted by Proletarian on January 9, 2025 - 7:31pm

PortableApps updater prompted me to update Firefox this morning. It goes through the download process, then the following error appears:


The downloaded copy of Firefox is not valid and can not be installed.
This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue.
Please try running the updater again when complete.

I have restarted my PC several times since then, and it's the same issue at each restart.

Windows 10 Home. No known network issues; all works normally.

Please assist; thanks!

good morning and happy new year, i've already search on site and forum, about the option for automatic change of desktop wallpaper integrated on suite, but it does'nt work and the chats on forum about this option are very old, the right procedure is: I put a BMP image in IMAGE FOLDER in the PORTABLE APPS PROGRAM, and rename " portableapps_wallpaper.bmp " and put inthe image folder but it does'nt work !!!!! i've tried many times.... in 2025 with windows 10 and 11 this method can work properly or not ? Thanks very much

App Store Downloads Failing From One USB Drive

Submitted by Reaperz on December 31, 2024 - 7:57pm

Previously I've been using my medicat bootable USB/nvme and if I disable the antivirus ( I have programs that trigger it ) I can load up my portable apps and have it update from the store or download new portable apps.

Recently I've been working on more streamlined use base USB drives. And it seems the fresh portableapp setups dropped into the root of my ventoy USB cannot download most of the apps I've selected from the store without stating :
