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 just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…
if i set the ‘configuration>shell extension>open folder after extracting’ checkbox, after decompress an archive is opened the file manager on that folder but… if somebody is using a different file manager how to open XYplorer or Directory Opus for example and NOT the MS file manager?
consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.
PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

Ho già contattato il supporto con il modulo presente qui https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ da settimane ma non ho ricevuto riscontro e ora che ho aggiornato alla versione 21.00.15 ho notato che il problema persiste.

I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?
Thank you for your support in advance!
PA2007 Beta 4 heavy problems
-
Hi.
I have huge problems using PA2007 / beta 4.
As you find in the attached images, I will get a weird message at start and cannot end powerarchvier due to the second message.
I already uninstalled completely.Regards
Thorsten
-
It would be helpful to describe the steps necessary to produce your problem (i.e. precisely what were you doing that led up to the errors?). What is your OS, etc.
-
No Problem.
It actually appears right after installation and at every start.
First installation was an upgrade from Beta 3.
I am running a Windows XP Multi-Language Edition with German Language-Pack running (this is also stated in my signature btw.).I just have to start PA for it to happen. It is reproduceable every time.
I did a full uninstall and then tried to reinstall with no change :-( -
nice, thank you!
-
Shell extension is also not working at all.
Neither extract to… nor Extract to folder.
An open through double click will open powerarchiver, give the error on start and then will NOT load the double tabbed zip.
I have to manually open the file through the menu.Regards
Fly -
did you try restarting after installation?
what is double tabbed zip?
thanks,
-
yes, restarted a couple of times.
before install, after install, before deinst etc.tabbed should have meant tapped :-)
just a typo.Regards and good night
Thorsten -
Ok, now I am really stuck.
The beta3 installation does not work anymore.
It comes up with a requester showing the temp-directory as installation source.
I never got the PA to uninstall correctly, so I had to stop the process.
it looks like the MSI installation is buggy as it does not react on some situations.I will try to clean my system if possible.
Regards Thorsten
-
Maybe it helps.
Anytime the installation stucks, the _PASetup.exe takes nearly 100 % CPU and will never stop. -
did you uninstall Beta 4 properly through Add/Remove programs?
-
If you cant, because you deleted files from the folder, download Beta 4 again and run it… it will give you an option to Uninstall then.
-
Ok.
I have found the problem.
Somehow the permissions on the HKCU\Software\Powerarchiver was not set right.
Administrator had only read-access.
This leads to the problem, that the deinstall hangs, the start cannot write the settings, so that seems to be the message.Kind Regards
Thorsten -
Although I don’t know who set read-access rights, I have done some changes so this error message doesn’t show in the future even if the access is read-only.
