For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Hi,
When you click on the Buy Now link, you come across four tabs - Home or Work, Enterprise Unlimited, Educational Discount, & Gift Discount.
What is the difference between a licence purchased via Gift Discount and a Home/Work licence?
Also, how can I renew the PowerArchiver Select plan a year after the purchase? Will it remind me automatically?
Best,

I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.
As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.
In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.
Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.
I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.
It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.
However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.
I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?
PA 10b2: 3 bugs on Windows XP x64
-
Hello,
1 - Annoying: when running a fresh install of PA 10 B2 on a XP x64 workstation, the shell extensions are not available in the explorer, even if the option in the installer has been set and the options in PA is reported enabled.
2 - Minor: when entering registration code, if, by mistake, you enter a PA 2006 code (I had half a brain cell this morning), the license information wizard succeeds and ask to restart PA to complete the registration procedure. Of course, when you restart PA, you have to enter a correct registration code.
It would be nice to have a warning dialog that the code
is for PA 2006 and that a new code is to be retrieved from the account page.
Entering the PA 2007 code solves the problem of course.3 - Really Annoying: when an archive is opened in PA, If I select a few files from my archive, I cannot drag-drop them to an explorer window. When I try to move my selection, PA tries to rebuild a selection and not do a drag-drop.

1. I will check for it - I think I know where is the problem.
3. Which format? Are there any UNICODE filenames inside (I saw this problem only with unicode files inside archive).
-
2. thats impossible due how our system works.
3. It happened to me once, but I couldnt reproduce it anymore, so any other info on the archive helps….
-
1. I have XP Pro x64 Workstation 2 at work and have no problems with the shell extentions. However, you do have to create the extention list 1st in the options menu as their doesnt seem to be a default list once installed.
2, I agree that it would be a nice to have a menu that apears informing you that the serial you entered is correct or wrong without having to restart the application. However, it is a “nice to have” not an essential piece of work that has to be done.
3. I have had this exact same problem and for the sake of me I cant Replicate it! rest asure when i do I will let you guys know.
-
More info.
2 - The registration stuff is really minor. Once I read the e-mail and got the 2007 code, everything was fine.3 - I have the problems on rar archives.
On zip files, it’s a question of position of cursor: I can drag drop files when I move a selection when the cursor is on the file name or the icon in the file list view.
When the cursor is above the date, file types or any columns right to file names, the selection is reset.
It’s a bit tricky because the selection spans all the row.
On Rar archives, it’s systematic.
I got the problems with these archives from this link

Regarding 1,
In options once enabling shell extentions you “have” to create the menu’s you wish to show via submenu or else it will not show when you right click despite enabling it!
I have provided a breif image of what it should look like.
PA Crew, can you create a default shell extention menu and should a user wish to change this they can via the options menu.

reported problem is with x64 specific extensions, not related to selecting what extensions to include.
By default, shell extensions are turned on. Submenus are not, only when you have PA 2006 installer before, and PA doesnt reset its usage… However if you do clean install or reset PA settings, hybrid shell extensions are shown by default.

Shell extensions will work now on x64 systems as well from Beta 4. Thanks!
