Search typing after update starts the first app in favorites

Windows 10 Pro / 22H2
Portable Apps 29.5.3 on USB stick

After updating the apps, it often happens that any input in the search field starts the first app in the favourites.
Unfortunately, this behaviour is not always reproducible. But if updates have been made, the probability of this error occurring is very high.
After restarting the PortableApps platform, the search can then be used again without any problems.

Executable file not recognised

Submitted by paulvp on June 30, 2024 - 2:23am

I recently converted a .bat file to a .exe file using the first process described here (i.e. using IExpress):

https://adamtheautomator.com/bat-to-exe/

I have placed the resultant .exe file in its own folder inside the PortableApps folder, but the PA Platform fails to recognise/find this .exe file. Yes, I have refreshed the app icons and even restarted the computer and PA platform but no joy. If I navigate to the folder and double click on the .exe file it performs as expected.

Unable to download apps e.g. Chrome portable

Hi,

Not sure if it is me or is there a problem downloading apps. I have used different browsers (Vivaldi, Floorp) but the download simply stopped midway.

Tried downloading a few apps but all ended up the same way - stopped midway.

Has been like that for the past 2 days already.

Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks
