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?
PowerArchiver creates @LongLink in Archives ?
-
Hi,
everytime i want to unpack a Backup Archiv of my Website (including Mambo CMS or PostNuke) with PowerArchive i get a error.
Example :
If there is a Link in the Archive that is very long PowerArchiver can´t handel and unpack the whole Archive. He stops and creats a File named @LongLink.
If i open it with a Editor i see in it
./postnuke/pnTemp/pnRender_compiled/Xanthia^SeaBreeze^eng^%%52^52C^52C3DF3D%%xanthiaadminmenu.htm.php
as Example.
How can that be ? With WinRAR it isn´t a Problem.
It can´t be a Problem of my Backuparchiv. It also happens with the original Archives like PostNuke-0.750.zip or the one from Mambo CMS.
-
PowerArchiver does not support TAR archives with longlinks, which is what does not work. Basically, @longlink is used to make TAR files with filename+pathname bigger than 100 characters.
We will introduce this in one of the future revisions of PowerArchiver, I hope.
regards,
-
This Error does not only appera at *.tar Archives. It apperas at *.zip and *.rar Archives too.
So i have to use WinRAR for such Archives ?? That has to be a Joke ! :(
-
I dont know what exactly are you reffering to, but longlinks only exist in TAR archives, they do not exist in RAR or ZIP archives. PowerArchiver will work perfectly fine with both zip and rar archives…

I just downloaded PostNuke Phoenix 0.750 Gold (.zip) from
http://downloads.postnuke.com/pafiledb.php?action=category&id=45This was unzipped by PA 9.02.01 with no errors on Win98.
-
Again - ZIP does not make @LongLink files, only certain TAR utilities make them for the purpose of extending TAR path+filename lenght above 100 characters. Those files are actually included in the TAR file, so they exist there. PA currently does not support them and hence it does not read them (again in TAR files only).
Only reason for them existing in ZIP file would be that someone converted TAR file or compressed them as well as rest of the files…
-
My only question is : When will it support them ? All others do it (winzip, winrar etc.) … it´s so frustrating.
-
Hello ?
I payed Money for this Software - can the Support answer please ??
Every OpenSource Archiver can handle this and i didn´t see why the one i buyed can´t .
Hope my english isn´t to bad. If so - is anyone here that can speak german ?

We already said it will be done in one of the future revisions - and also that it only happens with TAR archives, not zip archives.
You english is just fine… Hopefully we will be able to include it in 9.2 release!
-
Thank you for your Answer. :D
This sounds better :Hopefully we will be able to include it in 9.2 release!
as before :
We will introduce this in one of the future revisions of PowerArchiver, I hope.
;)
-
Well, it is pretty much the only “big” problem with PowerArchiver and is out of our hands so we will put it back into our hands and solve it - but it takes time…
thanks,
-
Yeah but only for understanding - can you describe me in simple Words why the free TUGZip and ZipGenius can handle it ?

Because they use different TAR components that we dont use?

Any updates on a fix for this problem yet?
-
Yes, as we already announced few times ago, this bug will be fixed for 9.1. Version 9.1 will be avilable in the beginning of the next week.
