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!
Wheel scrolling backwards?
-
I’ve noticed that when I view the contents of an archive, the mouse wheel scrolling is backwards… I move the wheel down, PowerArchiver scrolls upward. I move the wheel up, and PowerArchiver scrolls downward. Is this normal?
I’m using a Microsoft Whele Mouse Optical, with the stock drivers in Vista.
-
Just talking to myself here I guess, but I also notice that PowerArchiver is scrolling one line at a time, not one page at a time as I have set.

I was expexcting you to come back saying it was “fixed” after you rebooted.
I cannot reproduce the problem so osme more details may be needed.
What version of PA - current is 10.01.03 ?
Clean install or upgrade from PA 9.x / 10.x?
What view style (although I tried both Classic and Modern) ?
I assume you are dispaying details (not list)?
Are you using a skin (I only tried with defaults)?
What archive format (I tried both ZIP and CAB)? -

Yeah, I always wait until several uses before reporting a porblem such as this, to make sure it really is a problem with the program, not just a one-time oddity.

I assume you are dispaying details (not list)?

What archive format (I tried both ZIP and CAB)?The version I’m using is 10.00.42, it was a clean install – this is the first I’ve tried PA. I’m using the classic view, display is set to details, the skin is “Default Classic” and the archive format doesn’t matter. The same thing happens when I’m not even viewing an archive – the explorer-like display you get when you just run the program without opening an archive does the same thing. The Open dialog, which I assume is a standard Windows dialog, does not show this problem.
-
OK.
As I said I can’t reproduce the problem - I don’t remember anything like this with earlier versions either (and I have used them all :-)You could try updating to the current version (10.01.03).
That has improvements specific to Windows Vista - I am still on XP. -
You could try updating to the current version (10.01.03).
Tried that; it made no difference.
Incidentally, I mentioned before about the Explorer-like window when you open PA. In this, the left panel scrolls correctly, while the right panel exhibits the same backwards, line-at-a-time scrolling as when viewing the contents of an archive.
I like PowerArchiver otherwise, but this is annoying enough to make me look elsewhere. Maybe they’ll fix it, but my evaluation time runs out soon.
-
…not one page at a time as I have set.
Sorry, I misread that bit. :eek:
You are right - if I activate [ Mouse - Wheel - one screen at a time ] in Windows XP I get the same effect.:(Choosing “number of lines” e.g. 20 works correctly.
Could you try that as a workaround?
@JackH:my evaluation time runs out soon.
Apart from a “nag” timer, the functionality is exactly the same (there is nothing disabled on evaluation expiry). Don’t buy the license until it works the way you want.

Choosing “number of lines” e.g. 20 works correctly.
Could you try that as a workaround?No; I’d rather be annoyed by one program than by all programs!
This is starting to make sense though… I’ll bet the number of lines to scroll is stored as -1 if it’s set to page-at-a-time, and PA (or a programming tool used by it) is interpreting this literally.

Yeah, I’ve been using shareware long enough to learn this the hard way.

we will take a look for one of the future updates… thanks.

Just a friendly reminder about this problem, which is not yet fixed in the 10.1 beta.:)
-
Thanks!
The issue will be finally fixed in Beta 2.
-
Thank you! I shall anxiously await its arrival.:)
-
One Screen at a time fixed - for me - in PA b2 (10.10.09).
-
So, where is it? I just downloaded , and got 10.10.08.
-
From another thread
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha100/powarc1010b2.exe -
Thank you - looks like I need to start reading every thread here!
Scrolling does indeed work corrrectly in v10.10.09.
-
No, you could have waited for “official release announcment”.
But once you asked… :D
