# Troubleshooting

When something isn’t working properly in the PortableApps.com Launcher, it’s probably a mistake on your part. Before reporting it as a bug, please try going through this list of things first. If you can’t work out what the issue is, or if you still think you’ve found a bug, then you can try asking for help.

Check your launcher configuration
  Please go through all the lines in your launcher.ini file and reread the documentation for the section or key to make sure that you’re not doing something wrong by mistake.
Other issues
  Go through the Release checklist.
