I am godlike-expert class when it comes to PC software and 99.8% of these software listed are lightweight and 100% portable.

I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS! If you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!! Free or paid, doesn't matter, but it HAS to be portable!

PA = Portable Apps Version
(UAC)(A)  = Use UACpass to bypass runasadmin UAC window
(SB) = Running in Sandboxie (to prevent settings from escaping)
* = Either partially or fully not portable

 

 

*DEEP BREAAAAAAATH*. Ikuuuuuuuuzouu!!
---------------------------
MAIN FILES
---------------------------
AdMuncher - I still use this to protect myself from popups/ads that uBlock origin in Chrome mises
Bandizip  - My alternate compression app is WinRAR fails 
BitChe    - The best torrent searcher app - use it daily! 
OpalCalc     -  This replaced the outdated TabbyCalc to be the best Soulver-like notepad calculator out there  
Chrome X64 (PA) - Portable Apps version of 64bit Chrome.  I have not been able to find a TRUE portable alternative (tried sandboxed, chromium) that works for all my needs - e.g. 1Password extension
CloneApp (UAC)(A)   - Absolute lifesaver when reinstalling  windows and restoring settings for apps like Office 2016    
Converber - Excellent conversion utility 
Dropbox (SB) - 22GB (using VMWare referral trick hack) My go-to Cloud storage. 
EventGhost   - The best remote control software in existence. You can do almost anything with it! 
Excel 2016*- Best spreadsheet
Firefox (PA) - Keep this for backup in case Chrome Fails 
GoogleEarth (PA)          - Excellent maps for seeing world
Listary (UAC)(A)         - The best launcher app on Windows.  It is the closest I have found to Alfred for Mac.
mIRC      - Best IRC client 
Notepad++ - BEST Notepad client 
NZBget*  - Best usenet NZB downloader  - plugin in chrome is awesome too! 
OneNote 2016*  - Without question, hands down, my most used software. It is my 3rd arm and an extension of my life. If you haven't used this, it has saved my personal and work life. I am not kidding. 
Outlook 2016* -  I use gmail web interface, but this is the best windows mail client  
PowerPoint 2016* - Best powerpoint software 
priPrinter* - Easily the best printing management software ever coded. I use this daily. Make PDFs with it. It's so fast and lightweight
qBittorrent (PA)          - I am reluctantly running qBittorrent. I have uTorrent 2.2.1 as backup and I still find uTorrent 2.2.1 to be my favorite
QTranslate   - The best translation app ever made by mankind. Incredible incredible software
Rainmeter - Best desktop software 
SunsetScreen - Screw Windows 10 blue light blocking software. This one is the best. Better than f.lux by a mile. 
SyncBack  - I use free version (instead of pro) because it's updated often and author always bypasses the serial #s 
TeamViewer - I have Win10 Pro but still use this. The best remote connection software I have found.
Truelaunchbar   - I run this with Listary - my 2nd favorite launchers
UltraISO (UAC)(A)  - I keep this to use for ISO files just in case
uTorrent 2.2.1 (this version only) - Probably the best torrent client. I am very grudgingly using qBitorrent because it's updated, but this is still my favorite 
VoxCommando* The best speech control software I've found. 
vTask Studio - Cool app to make EXEs for file and windows actions! 
Willmaker 2017 (SB)    - If you need a durable power of attorny, will, or even living trust - use this app    
Winamp (Karaoke) - Modified version of Winamp to be like a karaoke player :)
Winamp    - The best music player I have ever used. I have tried the top 50 as of 4-2017 and I still come back to my idiotically tuned version of winamp 
WinRAR    - The best portable archive app ever made. Closest to it is bandizip and maybe peazip
Winscp    - The best SSH app 
Word 2016 - Can't live without this 
XMind     - Best mind mapping software 
Xntimer (Stopwatch)  - Lightweight, basic stopwatch. I love this. I also like "TenTimer" from Donation Coder but it feels slow and clunky compared to this
XYplorer  - THE BEST file manager on Windows.  Beats DOpus and TotalCommander (I've used both for years). There is no alternative IMO.

---------------------------
MEDIA Apps
---------------------------
3D Batch Youtube Downloader - THE BEST BATCH Youtube downloader ever made. I paid for this!!
3D Youtube Downloader   - If you need a SINGLE youtube downloader ever made 
ABBYY FineReader (SB)  - The best OCR software if I need to OCR PDF

Audacity - lightweight basic sound editing software
avidemux  
Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder - specialized utility to find duplicate photos 
BeCyPDFMetaEdit - Modify PDF meta data

Honeyview - My favorite picture viewing software and I've tried TOP 30 apps!
Irfanview = keep this as backup

PDF-XChange Viewer  - My favorite PDF viewer / basic edit software so far.
PhotoResizer  - specialized software to compress JPEGs to smaller size without major quality loss

RIOT  - Use PhotoResizer instead of this, but here as backup
ScreenToGif - I use SHareX but I this is the best app for gif creation
Scrivener - Best book writing software

---------------------------
SECURITY Apps
---------------------------
1Password 4  - Expensive, but THE BEST password management software ever. It beats LastPass and KeePass. If you want free KeePass is the best. If you have an iPhone, 1Password is the king
CCEnhancer (UAC)(A)   - Updates CCleaner with a massive database 
CCleaner64 (UAC)(A)      - The best windows cleaner app 
ContaCam* (SB) - Trying this out for camera software. BlueIris is probably the most powerful but it's god awful bloated and slow 
DisableWinTracking (UAC)(A)    - I use this & O&O Shutup! for Windows 10 Privacy
EasyNetMonitor  - Decent net monitor for computer 
EmptyRecycleBin - Special app that empties recycle bin (with keystroke set by Truelaunchbar)

VirusTotalUploader   - I use this app often to send suspicious files to virustotal while running them in sandboxie or vmware
VMWare ThinApp (TA)  - Best app to force-create portable apps 
VMware Workstation Pro  - THE GOLD STANDARD of all virtualization software. It's large, not portable, and somewhat slow but this is the king of the king of all virtual machine. I used VirtualBox and Portable Virtual Box for over 5 years before realizing VMWare is the best.
WackGet (PA)  - Decent download manager 
Windows 10 Firewall Control     - Still debating between this and WFC (Windows Firewall Control) as to which is the best WIndows Firewall software
