My computer magazine recommended PatchMyPC Home Updater so I tried it out and found it okay. I know I don't really need it as I check my apps weekly but thought I would give it a try.
The installed version of the app works fine but the portable version leaves a blank 'File' icon (no file extension) on the desktop. This does not happen with the installed version.
I added file extension 'txt' to open it but it showed a lot of gibberish so it isn't a text file.
I can't see a setting in the portable app to stop it. Does anyone know what it is and how to stop it?
If I can stop it happening I might be tempted to keep the portable version (but not the installed version) as I prefer portable apps if possible.
Bottom photo shows the 'blank' files I deleted in the Recycle bin and they are all 36,571 KB file size.
