I can't update the Platform on my main computer for the past few weeks

This is a reason why I made an account here, I just want to fix the error once and for all

A few months ago, I tried updating the PortableApps.com Platform, but for some reason I can't update it, ended up deleting everything and starting over, I still have it

I tried asking Reddit twice, I Googled it, and even asked my dad, nothing worked and I still have this issue

Manually updating and installing still works, but I don't really want to do that

How to show up "DataBase" close to Documents, Music etc. pp?

Submitted by Pberlin on June 16, 2023 - 3:23pm

Good Evening,

I'm not pretty sure, or if I have still created the Folder "Database". Since I need it each and every day, I'd like to join through the Sidebar, where "Documents, Music" etc. pp. are still allocated.

How I can manage to expand the Sidebar, or do I need to replace another Shortcut like "Music"?

I'm lost, Sorry!

Thank you and Kind Regards

Avast flagged v.26 updater as malware

I have been using PortableApps for years and never seen this before. The platform wanted to update to 26.0, but when it started to do so, Avast Antivirus showed a popup saying that it had quarantined PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_26.0.paf.exe because it was infected with "FileRepMalware [Misc]". Here is a screenshot with the details panel open: https://imgur.com/a/LCyI8Sn

Update Google Chrome Portable

Submitted by lapnhan on June 11, 2023 - 11:14am

Is there a way to update Google Chrome Portable ? For example, from version 113.0.5672.127 to version 114.0.5735.110 without having to delete all the data in that Chrome Portable (like cookies, extensions, history, ...) ?

I tried deleting the "App" folder in that Chrome Portable and replacing it with the latest Chrome Portable's "App" folder. Is this way effective? Other than this, is there a way to update without the error message "An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 1: 0x80004005).
Learn more" ?

Updates are not finishing downloading. Failing at about 98%

Been using portable for a number of years now. It has been very reliable. It has its quirks but generally they sort themselves out. Consequently never really had to post issues until now. (First post) Smile
This issue comes under the category of "sorting itself out" expect in this case it isn't and has been steadily getting worse over the last 6 months.
