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.

How does PA 07 work on Vista?
-
Does PA disable Vista’s built in zip support? Any possible conflicts? On XP, I unregistered XP’s zip dll file but I wasn’t sure about Vista. Thanks in advance!
-
should work perfectly fine. PA doesnt disable Vista’s built in support, there is no need for that, it just associates itself with zip archives.
-
Glad to hear it :)
The only reason I disabled it in XP is because of the way XP handled zipfiles. If you had a ton of zips in a directory, it would slow the scrolling way down.
Any ETA on a Final?
-
If I right-click on the sample zipfile in the PA directory (TUTOR1.zip) to extract it in the same directory nothing happens.
-
Denzilla, Funny enough I was going to ask the same question…
PA How far are we from the final?

is that an bug report? :-)

Hmmm, we are in Tech Support and a feature is not working as it should - so you can call it a bug report. ;)

we are in “How does PA 07 work on Vista” thread :-). So, you should start an different thread for bug report.
But I think your issue is probably with having to restart your computer after installation - have you done so?
thanks,
-
I just installed B8 and now something happens. :)
A error message is shown:
–-------------------------
PowerArchiverError creating destination file “”. Check that file is not in use.
OK
-
screenshot please…
-
Here you are
-
oh, welcome to Windows Vista… you can create files in C:\program files\
-
we will check for better error message, thanks for reminding me about that
-
What version of Vista are you using?
What it does is sends the file to another folder which is somewhere in your Users folder… I need to check better for that…
-
You can create files in C:\Program Files but you have to deal with UAC. There are other compression programs around which support UAC already. So it should be possible for PA too. :)
I’m using the final RTM build.
-
We need to check on that since I have not found anything 2 months ago when looking for it….
-
p.s. it should work if you set PA to be started as running under admin, by right clicking on pa.exe… Try if that works?
thanks
-
You see, if people dont complain, we will not find out about things that we need fixing, so COMPLAIN!!!
-

Yes, it works if I set pa.exe to start everytime with admin rights. But now PA requests admin rights on every start. That is not the intention of UAC. PA should only request admin rights if there is a need for.

yep… except that UAC doesnt allow for runtime elevation of rights, so you end up with having to redesign how you do everything because of it…
If we could do it at run time, change process rights, while showing an notification window, then it would be easy.

Try to copy a file with Explorer to the program files dir. Explorer requests elevation and the operation continues.

you can elevate com objects, you cant elevate process… You can check it out on MSDN if you wish.
This is done so virus or spyware cant elevate itself half an hour after you clicked on it, and then show you false name in the prompt…
-
p.s. we can do that too anyway, it is just not an 5 minute job of elevating the process, rather you have to rewrite how application creates and extracts files (do it outside main PA process).

Cool, than you have to work with elevated COM objects. :)
