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 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.

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

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!
PowerArchiver has taken over. Please help.

PowerArchiver 2007 (most recent version) is installed on Vista 32 bit with all the updates. When I click a .zip from within Internet Explorer, the file is wisked away to an unknown temporary location and immediately opend up by PowerArchiver.
I understand this is either a feature, or a function of how IE handles .zip files. What I CAN’T figure out is how to change or disable it. I want to download .zip files and save them. If PowerArchiver let me download the file and save it where I wanted, THEN opened it up, I might be ok with that.
Regardless, after an hour of sifting through PowerArchiver settings (no context help to explain what everthing does?) and IE and Vista, I can’t fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
-
It seems you set IE to Open files by default. It has nothing to do with PowerArchiver, other than it being default “editor” for file type you are downloading.
Doesnt PA give you an option to save the file before you close it? That should help at least.
Did you try going to IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Reset?
-
What happens when you right click on the file and select Save target as?
Thats how you get save prompt to pick where you can save the file (zip in this case).
-
The right click to “Save As” does work. But before I installed PowerArchiver, .zip files got downloaded.
I figured there was an option within Vista to change how it handles .zip file types, but I cannot find anything, just the fact that .zip is associated with PowerArchiver. What frustrates me is that it should NOT act that way with a hyperlink. Personally, I find that to be a security issue.
-
By default, Vista shows you the dialogue to chose Run, Save, Cancel.
It has to be some Internet Explorer option - it has nothing to do with associations.
Did you try reseting IE options?
-
Agree with spwolf, It has nothing to do with PowerArchiver’s associations.
Reset IE to default, also if you have any type of Browser Protection ie Firewall/Virus checker with file type handling processes check them aswell.
It is possible and I know this from expereince with Avast! That when downloading certain files that pose a potential “security threat” ie Zip’s,CAB’s, Exe’s the firewal/virus scanner will scan during download and may move to a temp location ie Quarantine Folder untill sectioned as safe.
-
I can’t fix the problem. It did not exist until I recently updated PowerArchiver. And, when I uninstall PowerArchiver, everything goes back to normal.
I’ll try reinstalling one more time. But if it does it again, I think i’ll just uninstall it and leave it that way. I’m disappointed that this program changes how downloads are handled and it cannot be changed. I did not have this same behavior with either WinZip or WinAce.

Since it is not PowerArchiver doing anything, reinstalling it wont fix the issue.
Once again, did you try reseting IE options?
PowerArchiver does not influence what IE does, whatsoever nor it changes any of your IE settings.
-
So, here is what you did.
When you click on zip file in IE, it shows an window with 3 options: Open, Save, Cancel.
There is also an checkbox: Always ask for this file type.
You unchecked this checkbox. Which means now when you click on Zip (which is “PowerArchiver Zip File”), it will automatically Open the file.
I would think that reseting IE options would reset that choice as well.
thanks,

Can someone please tell me WHERE to find this option to reset it?

Method 4: Reset Internet Explorer 7 settings
To determine whether a performance issue or an error message is caused by configuration settings, reset Internet Explorer 7 to its default configuration. This was its state when Windows Vista was originally installed. To do this, follow these
steps1. Open Internet Explorer 7.
2. Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Reset Internet Explorer Settings, click Resetmore information on how to resolve broswer issues can be found on

Ok, I followed the above directions, exactly. I even rebooted the computer. It did not change anything.
I think spitwolf was close when he posted this:
By default, Vista shows you the dialogue to chose Run, Save, Cancel.
It has to be some Internet Explorer option - it has nothing to do with associations.
Did you try reseting IE options?It’s not IE, it’s a Windows association thing. What action should windows take when you click on this file type. Those settings are made by the program. For example, if I install a new program that uses the .abc file type, the next time you click on an .abc file, the program will load the file, play the file, open the file for editing, etc. It all depends on how the program setup the associations.
I can edit them easily enough in XP, but I can’t seem to in Vista.
Other suggestions?

At the momment I only use XP Pro SP2… my Vista Computer Blew up some time ago and have yet decided what computer to buy… So I cant help you sorry.

On my Vista Premium computer.

Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
Find the file type and click on Change program.

That’ll let me pick a different program, but not how the program handles the file. In XP, thats where you can change the default action when you double click the file type.
What I don’t understand is why this action is carried over into IE.

I explained EXACTLY why this happened.
Because in IE, you clicked on option to not show dialogue window anymore.
Here is how to disable it in IE:

That’s all there is in Vista AFAIK
