PortableApps.com Platform

I used to be able to have the desktop background change when I START the menu. I had to download the menu and start over with it on a new USB and I am missing how to do that again. I searched, but I am not sure what to replace or where.

Weird, can only download a about 1.xx MB file

Hi,
I have see that inside folder:
--> "..\..\App\InnoExtract\" there is the file 'innounp.exe' v0.50'

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

Guessing its something simple but I'm not sure what....please can someone point me in the right direction?

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

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 :

I'm not able to open Rednotebook Portable
I keep seeing the following error: "Failed to execute script "pyi_rth_tkinter" due to unhandled exception, Tcl data directory not found"
What's causing this and how do i fix it?

Is it expected behaviour that PAP doesn't look for revision updates? I currently have GIMP v2.10.38 and it was updated to v2.10.38 revision 1 in March but PAP doesn't list it in the app updates?

I just did a restore from a backup last night and instead of OVERWRITING what was in there, it created DUPLICATES of old files and folders that were already in there, doubling the space used on the usb drive. Old files that I have either updated or no longer want.

I basically had to reformat the usb to clear everything out that was in there and essentially install it blank (except for the portable app itself) and start all over again.

That's not a proper restore. A restore should overwrite everything and delete what's not in the 7-zip backup, itself.
