Win10/Win8 - Apps won't run ("Another Instance" + "Requires Windows _ or Later")

This is probably due to special work environments, but I thought I'd check with you folks.

I work in a public school system and I've always used PortableApps to keep a handy drive full of utilities for my job. Everything worked fine until I came back to school last month...

We transitioned MOST computers to Win10 last year. Everything was fine, however when I try to run the platform OR any individual portable app now:

make automatic updates and automated installation of portableapps via the app

Submitted by heynando on September 4, 2018 - 2:05am

when a user has several portableapps installed, currently the update process as well as the installation becomes extremely tedious very fast, since the user has to click the button NEXT for like a hundred times, literally BTW, especially if the number of apps being updated is great.

the suggestion would be to automate this process and make it a bit less congested and more importantly more fast. The user would only be required to click "next" for a few times independently of the number of apps being installed and or updated.

Set frequency for update checks

First, thanks for the great software. I've been using it off and on for a few years between home and school.

Is it possible to set the frequency with which the platform checks for updates? Perhaps a monthly or weekly option?
Also, is there a silent install option? Whereby, if enabled, the platform would click through all of the "next" and "finish" buttons in each applications' installation dialog as those apps are being updated?

Thank you for a great platform.

Type Pinyin in search box and click Enter leads to opening the first program multiple times.

  • OS version: Windows 10 Pro 1807 Build 17134.228 64-bit,
  • Install path: C:\Programs\PortableApps (I do not think this bug is path-related),
  • new vs upgrade: upgraded, I started using portableapps before 2010
  • platform version: 15.0.2

How to reproduce:

updating an app that isn't installed

Submitted by choicevoice on August 4, 2018 - 12:10am

i used to have jportable installed. i uninstalled it a long time ago. yet, occasionally, when i update my apps, it appears and updates. something must have gone wrong with the uninstaller. i have tried reinstalling and uninstalling.

perhaps related, but not a big deal to me (i mention it b/c it might be related), when i launch portableapps platform, all my shortcuts on my desktop disappears. when i close it again, they reappear. weird.

i installed the platform in the C:/ and am using windows 10.
