Laggy Google Chrome

Submitted by Serhij on December 8, 2023 - 2:10am

With last two updates portable Google Chrome started lagging.
Can't use it because of very slow work. App always hangs for some time.
Used portable Google Chrome for few years and never had such issue.
Tried clean setup of app but no luck.
Is it me or something broken in portable app?

Currently using:
Windows 10 Pro x64, 22H2, 19045.3693
Portable Google Chrome 120.0.6099.71

[Fixed] Skype v8.108.0.205 fails to install / doesn't exist

Submitted by what2say on November 26, 2023 - 1:33pm

OS: Windows 7 x64
Scenario: Upgrade via PA Platform app

It appears that there's no Skype v8.108.0.205, or if there was, Skype pulled it from their website.

I first tried downloading the latest Skype today (11/26/23), via the Platform updater. Error: "The downloaded copy of Skype via sPortabIe (https://go.skype.com/windows.desktop.download) is not valid and can not be installed.

Where is the FileZilla 3.66.1 DualMode or 64-bit Only Selection Dialog Box?

Submitted by PortableGood on November 7, 2023 - 12:05am

In this FileZilla announcement comment:

https://portableapps.com/comment/255442#comment-255442

John mentions that "Today's release of FileZilla Portable 3.66.1 makes use of the new PA.c Installer feature allowing the end user to select either 64-bit Only or DualMode with 64-bit and 32-bit support."

When I upgraded FileZilla to v3.66.1, I did not see that dialog box. So I tried uninstalling FileZilla and then reinstalling it. I still did not see that dialog box.

Putty error. Unable to open connection to hostname. Host does not exist

Submitted by MaximilianKohler on September 26, 2023 - 5:19am

I ran into this problem and found nothing via search so I'm sharing the "fix".

If you pin putty portable to the start menu on windows 10, then use the "recent sessions" or "pinned sessions" that can cause this error if the saved session doesn't exist in the registry.

I originally thought it was a conflict when you have the non-portable version installed on your PC, but that's not correct. I uninstalled my local version and it had no impact.

Every update of qBittorrent lose all my settings

Submitted by ogangrel on September 20, 2023 - 9:33am

It has been three, four or five updates that all my settings and torrents gone after the update! (Except this last time, the torrents remain)

I have a lot of customizations of locations to download files, tags, temporary, watching folders etc.

Any one with this issue too?

What I have to do to keep all my settings?

Chrome Crash logging

Submitted by nolanoro on August 25, 2023 - 7:05pm

I've had Chrome crash a dew times lately. The chrome_debug.log had no information relating to the crash.

I ran across this help article, https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6271282?sjid=1570637331475214..., "Chrome browser debug logs", with instructions to "Turn on logging" by adding a command line

[Fixed] Telegram Desktop produces log file on every launch

Submitted by Dealx on August 19, 2023 - 7:36am

When Telegram Desktop starts, it creates log_startX.txt file in ...\PortableApps\TelegramDesktopPortable\App\Telegram\ directory, where X is 0, 1, 2 etc. These files are not deleted after Telegram Desktop is closed.
Looks like the issue occurs since Telegram Desktop 4.9.1.
