Latest Chrome updated broke app

Submitted by uCrashed on April 14, 2026 - 5:30pm

I opened the PortableApps platform, installed update, it then prompted me with a chrome update. I installed it and opened chrome. I restored my tabs with the OneTab extension. All tabs kept showing the circular loading icon. After a bit I hovered over the tabs and they all said "App Crashed." I closed the browser and I made a copy of my profile folder right after this. Now Chrome won't launch. I click the app icon, a brief loading circle shows, then nothing happens. Nothing about chrome even shows up in the task manager.

Profile Seamonkey are not available

Hello perfectly sapiens!
I'm used Seamonkey Portable 2.53.23 on SanDisk Ultra Luxe (Gen 1 ?)
Today, i'm closed Seamonkey, and extract USB-flash after a while some 15 second.

Now, i'm looked: my Bookmarks and Magazine visited Web-pages not available, "...because one of the files is being used by another application."

"Работа с закладками и журналом невозможна, так-как один из файлов используется другим приложением. Данную проблему могут вызвать некоторые из защитных программ."

Other elements of the user profile: logins, passwords, etc. - survived.

Google Chrome Portable 64-bit Stable (Test) — not actually portable

Submitted by Spazz007 on March 5, 2026 - 3:44am

This version in fact is not portable. It writes itself to the Windows registry making it not truly portable. Any restrictions or limitations within the Windows Chrome Policies located in the registry such as managing the browser by administrator will be carried over to this version. Using Windows 11 x64 and Windows 10 x64.

Full disclosure is needed now with these apps that they are not fully portable, rather it gives users the illusion of being portable.

Consider this post a formal bug report

I need to make some fundamental changes to a PHP script on my website.
For this, I'd like to install XAMPP portable. However, I see that portable apps
is currently only offering the relatively old version 1.7 from 2018.
Version 8.2, released in November 2024, is already available.

Is there any chance that portable apps will offer this newer version soon?

Be that as it may, thank you very much for these wonderful portable apps!

Supermium: Trojan detected during installation

Submitted by redhawklatinos1 on January 27, 2026 - 11:14pm

I was installing some apps for the first time on a new computer, never had a problem before with portableapps.com on other computers, but now when supermium was being installed windows detected: Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A on the supermium temporary directories that are made during the installation, hope this doesn't become recurrent since this and another application the utility whynotwin11 "updated" and was carrying a another Trojan, now there are several apps asking for update today, and that becomes suspicious.
