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).

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.

With PowerArchiver context menu enabled, it is crashing Windows 10 File Explorer when right-clicking on the Default User junction in C:\Users.

2009 B2-B4: Address Bar Dosent Update Explorer Pane
-
Set the ‘Folders’ to Explorer Display Style, so the address bar is visible. Type in a path and press enter. The contents of the explorer window dosent change to the path you entered.
Also the address bar really needs a go button. I attached a screenshot of the bug.
-
seems to work always here… maybe there is some specific case where it does not work?
It seems that it changed your address properly, but it not update the contents. What happens when you hit enter again?
Go button is sooo 90’s :).
thanks
-
btw, what happens when you use dropdown to select folder and hit enter… do contents change then?
-
can confirm it worked for me in vista 32bit.
-
Typed C:\ and hit enter. Preview pane didnt update. I clicked the address bar again (as it lost focus) and hit enter a second time. Then the preview pane updated.
Dropdown and selecting folder(s) does not work. In the attached screenshot you’ll see the contents of the root C:. I then dropped down and selected Desktop. The explorer pane didnt update. I tried selecting another folder and drive, still wont update.
Im running a clean install of Beta 2 on Vista Business 32.
*Explorer pane not be confused with the folders paneEdit: A go button might be 90’s but I like to click and would rather click a button as opposed to hitting enter twice :D
-
can still confirm it worked for me Marc following your procedure…not that it helps your situation though…:(
typing c:\ or any other drive for that matter and hitting enter took me to that location and updated the preview pane.
-
Im at a total loss here. Here are two more screenshots of what works and what dosent. Hopefully they will provide some clue.
If the folder pane is off then the address bar is nonfunctional.
-
ah…this time I got the same response…‘nothing’.
it didn’t update or even go to the location I typed in Marc…sorry if I misled you.I can confirm it is indeed a problem/bug…thanks for making it clear.
Update.
I’ve tried it on a couple of occassions and it seems intermittent…
one minute it worked and then on the next attempt later it wouldn’t…very strange indeed. -
what OS do you have marc?
-
moles42: Huge thanks for continuing to test this and Im glad it was able t obe reprodiced. (whew)
spwolf: Im using Vista Business Edition 32Bit with SP1 installed.
-
In case this matters or helps - I also see the problem on WinXP SP2 with PA 2009 Beta 2.
-
is there any specific way you guys can reproduce this? we cant seem to reproduce it whatever we do…
thanks
-
I can reproduce it too (XP/Vista). It looks like the OnChange trigger of the dropdown list isn’t working when folders is disabled.
1. Make sure you open a version where explorer with folders in on.
2. Select the Explorer Display style. What I do notice, the filelist changes to a different folder than I had currently selected.
3. Now select a different folder from drop down list. It will never update the Filelist. -
I still see this bug present in Beta 4.
-
I also still see this problem with Beta 4 (running WinXP SP2). Note that (for me anyway) having the Folder window open or closed does not affect the problem. The problem only shows up for the files pane - the Folders pane gets updated properly.
-
maybe someone could make one of those flash movies so we can see how we can reproduce it? Works fine on 4-5 computers that we have tried with…
-
My 2 screenshots in post 7 describe the problem pretty good. If the folder treeview is visible with the files pane then what happens is the folder tree updates as it should. But the files pane still shows the contents of the previous folder.
If you have the folder tree off (which I do) then the files pane simply will never update no matter what location you type into the address bar and hit enter.
Really though in both instances, the files pane does not update. 1st screenshot shows with folder tree and second one shows without folder tree. So in the second one when the folder tree is off, there is no way to update the files pane by typing a new location. Type hit enter, nothing happens.
-
we still cant reproduce it, thats why I asked for the movie - it may explain it better…
-
I can make a movie (after installing some freeware app) but all it will show is a PA window with the file pane visible. Then the text C:\Windows being typed into the address bar followed by the enter key (which wont show). The files pane will not update and display the contents of C:\Windows.
I’ll make a movie. Maybe it will show something I am not describing.

Alright. I think this will do the trick… Goto: http://4input.com/PA/PA.htm

I have been unable to reproduce this when typing an entry - however, I did get the same result (no update) when choosing Desktop from the address dropdown.
Unfortuantely, like mwb1100, it is not reliably reproducible for me. I get the problem sporadically ( twice in about 15 attempts); also it does not persevere when trying different entries/selections from list :confused:
-

If I left the impression that this was difficult to repro, I’m sorry - I have no problems reproducing the problem. It happens for me each and every time, exactly the same as MarcFou describes. My only ‘contribution’ to this thread is that it happens for me on WinXP SP2 so it’s not a Vista specific problem.
-
Sadly I can reproduce this 100 times out of 100. In previous betas it would sometimes work. The only way it will work for me is to do the following…
-Type C:\ (for example)
-Hit Enter key
-Click the address box to select the text C:
-Press Enter again
-Files pane then updatesOtherwise type+enter does nothing. The only other info I can add is settings.
I do see one discrepency here. From the UI on the toolbar, under Folders I have “Explorer Display Style” NOT Explorer with Folders. But in the Preferences, View section it says: Viewing Style = Explorer style (with folders).
Could it be as simple as a conflict of settings? See attached.
Edit: Just realized I am using PC Tools ThreatFire (threatfire.com) and it installs a keyboard driver to monitor/detect key logging. Could the driver be the cause?
-
everything is fine there… can you send us your settings again at support at conexware.com?
thanks
-
(reg file)
-
Done. Hopefully it may provide some clues.
-
The issue remains in Beta 5.
-
I tried PA 2009 Beta 4 on another Win XP SP2 machine, and the problem does not occur on it. I don’t know what might be responsible for the different behavior between the two machines.
-
I mailed spwolf a movie how to reproduce the problem. So I guess this gets fixed.
-
Problem resolved in RC 5 :D
