PortableApps.com Platform

Hi there,
since a few weeks I cannot use the platform Help/Check for Updates anymore.
Even if I reinstall everything from scratch I can download portable apps, but the update function still doesn't work.

Is there a log file which knows a bit more about what fails and where?

I have Windows 10, a DSL connection without any proxy, in internet connection settings every proxy option is unchecked.

How can I proceed to fix this?
Thanks, Klaus

I pinned some apps on the taskbar and it creates new icons just right side of the icon every time I launch it. How do I fix it?
Plus, how to add a picture on this forum?

Every day I'm asked to update Firefox Beta 65.0 Beta 7 even after updating it seems that it doesn't detect the newly installed version.

I'm having a problem with Portable Apps Launcher on a relatively new 64-bit Win7 install that I think is the fault of the host OS. I didn't note the launcher version I was using but I know I had updated it within the last two months.

I ordinarily start it from a batch file that does some housekeeping before starting the launcher (offers to update the ClamWin definitions, etc), but the batch file kept erroring-out with 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe is not a valid PortableApps.com release and can not be launched.'

I've got portableapps.com installed on my D: drive, and I've noticed that all the new data -e.g. after a program updates- gets written to the back of the disk, effectively spacing things out and making the arms on the drive work harder. It sounds like it's doing more searches, and then the browser page loads will get a bit slower, and I'll remember to defrag. That fixes it by stacking everything closer together.

Is this by design? Can I turn it off? Am I missing something?

As I remember from a years I have problem with PAF installer.

This not only exposes bad coding practices - as no retry button after trying failure to access internet when blocked by firewall, but I have massive problems when try to install programs on computers without internet access.

There is a way to download apps for REAL offline installing without using this crap PAF installer?

When I try to update appears:

Access violation at address 006262F3 in module
'PortableAppsPlatform.exe'. Write of address 00000000.

It bloks the download. What should I do?

Thank you for an answer

Hello.
First off, thanks for the excellent app! I am wondering if I can display more apps than 20 like native Windows start menu. If not, hope it will have in the next update.
Cheers!

In a nutshell;

using FF or TB portable on a machine with FF or TB installed mess up with my profile... again...
and I'm slowly doubting the name "portable" if two far far away path are messing up eachother (or more my portable profile)
C:\Users\XYZ\Appdata\Roaming\Firefox\... VS P:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile

So... now what? Definitely making backups every time after closing, because,

1. WHO do that?
and 2. This will take a long time...
(3. Shouldn't that happen after all?)
