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?

Hi. The “Move” Action seems to be Not Working when used in the Tool – Batch Archive.
Using the Options – Configuration – Compression Profiles ---- I created a Profile with the Action of Move. Also set were Zip, and Method Deflate.
When I use the Tool - Batch Archive – It appears to me that the Action Move does not Move the compressed files (basically add to zip, and delete the added file from original location on the same disk). Zip file(s) are created and look ok.
Typically I on the Batch Archive process – I have selected options to use a Profile with the Move Action.
File’s Current Folder Group files from same folder into same archive Add subfolders to separate archivesMy PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .
Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
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.

PA 2007 installs not retaining previous settings
-
All PA 2007 betas I’ve installed clobber the old install. This means I have to both reenter the registration code and reconfigure all my settings. Even now, going from beta 4 to beta 5 required that I once again redo everything.
I most certainly hope this will be fixed.
Thanks
-
Totaly agree with you, this has also happend to me on every upgrade and it does become slight frustrating more so when you have to re configuire all your settings over and over again.
This is why in one of my posts I asked for a “Save Configuiration” button that extracts your prefered settings to a file which you can upload on the next upgrade thus stoping you from having to re apply everything all over again.
For security reasons you can understand why you need to re-enter your serial number but for beta’s i wouldnt say it was needed. more so on full releases.

its an bug, so you shouldnt need to re-enter everything every time :-)

Cheers for that! We will let you off :0) this is what you get being beta testers!

Still not fixed in Beta 6, I had to enter all my info and redo my configuration again.
Thanks,

I’m also noticing the same problem.
-
it has been fixed in beta 6, problem is that it depends on previous installation you did… so in next version it will work fine for you guys…

Hi
I have just installed beta 6 of PA 2007, and it asks me to register again (enter my name and code) every time I run it. Is this the same problem as the one you guys have described?
Just installed it on a new install of XP without upgrading, and I also uninstalled 2007 and installed 2006, entered my details and code, checked it worked ok, then upgraded to 2007 and the same thing happened.
Is this fixed with the fix for the settings changing, or have I found a new bug?
Cheers
Matt

you need to visit your account and get codes for PA 2007, as they are different from PA 2006 codes.
thanks,

Hi spwolf
Thanks for that, got new codes and it works fine :)
It’s not obvious that new codes was what was wrong when it happens though, can it check and tell the user that they need new codes?

there is no way for us to do that right now… which is why it is written on the website several times :-)

In beta 7 i have the same problem. I reformated my hard drive and installed beta 6 and then i installed beta 7 and i have to renter my settings again. looks like pa is over writing the settings thats what my installed monitor is saying. When will this be fixed i have a windows 2000 computer. its an annoying part of upgradeing pa with every beta
-
I can confirm this too, all my settings for the previous beta (including the serial number) were lost during the upgrade to the latest beta.
It would be nice if the installer could remember the settings (shell extensions, folders etc.) during the update.
-
Not fix in 7, still had to enter all the reg info.
-
Confirmed here too with beta 7. It would be nice to export settings just so we wouldn’t have to go through this - but, that’s a different issue. ;)

we found another bug… it will be now fixed for… b9 :-).
thank you guys - you can always export via regedit.exe and then just execute the .reg file after installation…
-
As others have stated, this is definitely NOT FIXED in Beta 7
-
Ditto!
I have actually designed my own regkey that will upload my Username, Serial aswell as my old prefered settings in order to save time as we are now in Beta 7 and still the settings don’t seem to save after an upgrade.
In some new software programs when upgrading or uninstalling you have the option to keep or delete your current registry settings I would suggest that this might be an idea PA2008 Have or maybe a later release of 2007 Final.

again, it is an bug :-). It will still be reset in B8, but then it will work fine in B9 or final, whatever comes sooner :-).

this is still not fixed and it means i have to change the toobars and settings every install.

Did they release beta 9 and I miss it?

try now guys…

It worked for me! :D :D :D

Just for fun err… testing, I uninstalled PA beta, rebooted, then installed PA 2006 and entered registration code.
Then I tried “upgrading” to Beta 9…
Of course, registration is “lost” - but the timer showed
Days Used : 16 (Out of 30)Not sure where this came from, but I like it - two weeks to get the new/free code seems eminently fair.
Maybe in this specifc case (upgrade of registered version) there should be a text stating that new codes are needed and where to get them?
Even the skin was preserved when switching to classic view :cool:
The only other setting not preserved were the shell extensions - not really surprising.

If you just installed PA 2007, it would be at 0. But uninstalling PA 2007 will not reset it to 0 :-)

As I said I don’t think there is a problem it is just that
if I uninstall PA 2007 and install PA 2006 it says:
Days 842 (out of 30) - Expired :DAnd I was used to seeing that - earlier 2007 BETAs also told me that.
Now if I uninstall PA 2007(B9) and install PA 2007(B9) it says:
Days 16 (out of 30)That’s why I mentioned it.
Maybe the 16 days used is just counted from installation of PA 2007 Beta 8 - but as I did enter register code for that I am not sure where it counts from :confused: -

Well I was just wondering if a first time upgrade from PA2006 to PA2007 will reset the counter to 0 for PA2007?
There is another “problem” however.
When upgrading from PA 2006 to PA 2007, the entry in Add/Remove programs for PA 2006 is not removed.
So I now have two entries.If I now click to remove PA 2006 - it actually removes the installed PowerArchiver but leaves the entry for PA 2007 in Add/Remove programs :confused:
-
You should uninstall PA 2007 and then PA 2006, and then install PA 2007.
As to the counter, it is relative to when it is installed first on your system, which is why it shows you 16 days… to person who installs it today, it will be 0.
thanks,
-
You should uninstall PA 2007 and then PA 2006, and then install PA 2007.
So “upgrading” from PA2006 to PA2007 is not going to be possible - only clean install (with loss of settings).
-

unless you want to leave PA 2006 entry in Control Panel…. If thats fine, then upgrading is possible.
