    running apps from a usb drive, including authenticator


    If I install apps for windows 10 on a USB drive will they work only for the PC that I'm on at the time or can I take that USB drive and go to a different windows PC and run the apps there?


    I want to set up a USB drive to with my security software and the authenticator. My main goal is to make it so that you have to have the USB drive like a security fob to access any of my pc's.


    Hope I'm being clear here, I'm having a "foggy day".

    run apps off a USB drive?

    Hey, guys, do you have the experience of running your daily used apps off a USB drive?

    Which is I am now trying to do. But I find that only portable apps can be run like that.

    while some apps like MS office are not portably available. How can I do that?

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
