PortableApps.com Platform

I am thinking of switching to the Platform proper. Currently, I download and install each PortableApps.com application individually. I am looking to solve two wishes by switching to the full platform.

I use the PortableApps.com Platform mainly to use fonts without Administrator privileges, as well as a few minor games. As this is the only use for me, I have no use for getting new apps most of the time. However, the Platform asks me about new apps every startup. Is there any way to disable the process and only ask about new apps when I tell it to?

Thanks

Good day,

I have installed PA on my laptop.

If I want to copy them to my desktop, do I simply copy and paste the "D:\PortableApps" folder ?

Thank you.

EngHai,

Why i can not update on autostart without start.exe?
it was more efficent!

Hi,
I set Windows7TaskbarIcon=false but it does not work on win 10, the Portableapps icon is not hide.

Is it normal for the platform to take about 20-30 seconds to load each time? The UI comes right up, but it appears to be scanning for the apps for about 20-30 seconds.

I have one of the fastest USB drives out there and am loading it on a USB 3.0 port, so I really don't think the issues with with the storage device. Is this normal?

Hello,

The problem:
PortableApps created a folder Documents with subfolders Videos, Music, Pictures in C:\Users\MyName\, but those do not point to the correct, redirected versions of the personal system folders.

Hi all,

I've been using PortableApps on a portable hard drive (USB connected) for years and never had a problem before. Today, I restarted my PC and clicked my PortableApps 'start' shortcut to find that my usual PortableApps menu had turned flat green with lots of 'lblAppButton02, lblAppButton02, and so on instead of my app entries.

I tried to (re)install the latest version but the install fails with:

Error opening file for writing:
G:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe
Click abort to stop ..... etc.

Hello, I try and install PortableApps and it just goes to install loop, which means that I walk in the loop, and do not get any "start program" at all.

There are some who feel like and try and help me?

Hi everyone. I've known about portable apps for a long time, but I'm just starting to use them. (They're great!) If my questions seem dumb or naive, please forgive them. I semi-retired from sofware engineering 15 yrs ago (after 30 years professional development), and I have some rust, but the bulb it still medium bright.
