PortableApps.com Platform

I just upgraded to The PortableApps.com Platform v29.3 .

My work setup is a laptop and two 1920x1080 monitors. When I take the laptop home, I use it with only its own built-in monitor. My question is, if I run the launcher at work and move it to one of my external monitors #2 or #2, then exit, shutdown, take my laptop home, and run the launcher again, will it appear on the laptop monitor #1, or will it be on the non-existent monitor #2 and thus not accessible?

Sorry guys to ask a question on a legacy version of JPortable.

Our internet access is closed and if you would like to access URLs you need to define these in the Proxy.

But I am trying install Java_Portable_6_Update_22_online.paf and it will get stuck on downloading Java "Downloading Java" & "Connecting..." and fails.

Could anyone provide me the URL/Port the application is using to download Java please?

I'm using Windows 11 and a Samsung Odyssey G9.

When I open the PortableApps menu in my system tray, the menu opens up hard up against the left hand side of the screen.

Any ideas?

I would find it very useful to be able to launch standard windows apps - notepad, calculator etc - directly from the portable apps platform.

I have tried puting a batch file in a named folder inside my portable apps directory, but it doesnt seem to get detected in the platform.

C:\Portable Apps\PortableApps\windows-memtest has this batch file, named memtest.bat
%windir%\system32\MdSched.exe

If I click on it it works so that isnt the problem

I use 2 monitors and PortableApps keeps opening on the main monitor which I suppose is an ideal situation for most cases. For me though, I want it to open on my 2nd monitor. Moving it and exiting does not seem to save this preference.
If the problem is that "if you bring the USB to a computer with only one monitor, you won't see the menu anymore", then I say just check if there are fewer monitors than before and if so, THEN move it to the main screen. That way accounts for cases like that.

Hi,

I don't want to cause any panic - but I am facing the following issue:
Today when I started my PortableApps, and wanted to check for updates I was "greated" with the following error:

Unable to connect to PortableApps.com to retrieve portable
apps. Please try again later.
[InvalidZipFilePossibleNoConnectionOrFirewall ]

and at the same time by the following Windows Defender warning:

Virus & Threat Protection
Threats Found
...

Upon checking Defender's history, this is what I found:

Duplicate of bug https://portableapps.com/node/70275

Asking to list new programs or search for updates - the result is this:

Found: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
file: C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\nsg1B24.tmp\update.7z

what shall I do?
Windows 11 64bit 23H2

Is there a way to reconfigure Portable Apps Updater to use another URL/DNS or hostname to retrieve updates/new versions ?
Why, behind a firewall and admins seems to have blocked access to PortableApps.com updates.

Hi
Recently, every time I fire up the Portable.com platform on my desktop (Win 10 Home) , the qBittottent app also starts up. I have looked and cannot figure out why? Have I accidentally set an option I should not have? Where? (I have looked at options both within Portable.com and qBittorent, I cannot see any relevant switches.)

Any pointers?
Thanks

Hi
When installing PortableApps for the first time, is it possible to automatically install ALL the apps without needing any input from the user for those apps that require you to accept and press next and finish etc with your mouse? I'm looking for a fully automatic first install of all apps with no user input.

Thanks
