PortableApps.com Platform

I have difficulty unmounting/removing my flash stick. It's a Kingston Digital 64 GB Data Traveler SE9 G2 USB 3.0 Flash Drive.

On my Windows 10 machine, whenever I try to remove it, it always says that it can't until I stop some process, but never tells me what that is. However, if I close Chrome, Firefox, and sometimes Opera (yes, I'm running all of them, and not PortableApps), then, and only then, can I remove the flash stick.

Is there a way to disable the unexpected DLL check for certain apps? After the latest platform update, Audacity won't start because I put lame_enc.dll into the AudacityPortable directory. This file is required for exporting MP3s from Audacity.

Dear All,

it may be related with special "corporate policies" which apply definitely to my hardware used mainly with PortableApps, but I'm facing an annoying issue. First of all, my configuration:
- Dell Lattitude E5570 w/ Intel i5-6300U @ 2.4 GHz / 16 GB RAM, full touch support
- Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64, german locales
- PortableApps 14.4
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 v10.2.4.674
- PortableApps Installation Folder: %UserProfile%/Tools/PortableApps

I am using the PortableApps platform on Windows not be portable but to keep all my data in one well-defined place (on drive D:\). This includes the data eclusively used by the apps (e. g. user profile data of Chrome).

I'm getting the following error when trying to update:

"Unable to connect to PortableApps.com to retrieve portable apps. Please try again later. [Open Internet Error]."

Here's what I've tried:

1) Allowing the platform and updater through my firewall.
2) Enabling it in my other security software.
3) Changing the connection settings from "Automatic" to "Direct Connection (No Proxy)."

Oddly, as I was posting this, the app froze and I couldn't close it so I'm not sure what that's about.

I'd appreciate your help.

Thank you.

I couldn't find this in the "Bug Report and Feature Tracker" thread, and all the threads about this were dead ends. Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this.

Feature request: Option to periodically check for updates (currently it can only check on platform startup).

Hello
Google Chrome says that this site is not secure. It says "not secure" next to address bar. Should i be afraid and leave?

I'm getting the following error on application updates in a machine with XP SP3
Unable to download the file. This could be due to a proxy or network issue or the hosting server not permitting downloads from your location. File:http://dowloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/kritaportable_3.1.2.1.paf.exe
and it goes on with the next apps.

What should I do to fix it.
Reinstalled IE8, no improvements doing so.

I am sure this is simple, but I need some help quickly before leaving work today (I hope.)

I keep trying to install PortableApps.com Platform on a drive that previously had it. The intention is to fix an issue that was preventing apps from running earlier. (Every app was showing "cannot start - app already running", although it was not. Due to a removal while the drive was in use, surely.)

So I tried installing the latest version of Portable Apps on my 32GB brand new flash drive with no result. It always shows an error. I thought I'd install each application individually, cause I don't really need the platform but I was wrong again. The only one I have managed to install in KeePass. I've also tried Mozilla, VLC, 7-zip and LibreOffice and they always give me an error too, for example 7-zip gives "Error extracting 7-zip.dll" or something similar. Any ideas?
