@earthjasonlin The portable version is provided in .exe format. I wonder how do you "extract" the portable version. Did you archive the portable executable with the JoplinProfile folder in an .zip or .7z file?

[earthjasonlin]

Nope, I did it by right click the JoplinPortable.exe file and then open with winrar, so that it can be extracted

I can't reproduce this bug by following your steps. I tried the portable version of v2.9.4 and it works fine.
Maybe your anti-virus software blocks the self-extract process?
