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!

There appear to be quite a few bugs in the local file explorer component (beta2). Here are the few i’ve found.
Running windows server 2008 (basically vista) 32bit.
- Deleting a folder loses focus of the main window (takes you to another application alltogether). This was on shift-delete.
- right-click new folder refreshes and collapses all folders, taking you to the desktop display. a folder called “new folder” is created.
- renaming a folder doesn’t work. Not via click on filename, F2, or right click rename. this is on the tree-view.
- moving a file via drag/drop also causes PA to lose focus
- F5 (refresh) with a folder in the tree selected collapses the entire tree.
-
can anyone else confirm these? I’m attempting to use powerarchiver as my new file manager, but these are show stoppers for me.
-
Never needed a compression app on a server. Maybe that’s the reason why so few are interested in your problems. Maybe they should try to reproduce this on a desktop os, in this case maybe Vista.

I’m running PA2009 Pro Beta 2 on WinXP SP2.
I do not see the following problems:
- Deleting a folder loses focus of the main window (takes you to another application alltogether). This was on shift-delete.
- moving a file via drag/drop also causes PA to lose focus
I can reproduce the following:
- right-click new folder refreshes and collapses all folders, taking you to the desktop display. a folder called “new folder” is created.
- renaming a folder doesn’t work. Not via click on filename, F2, or right click rename. this is on the tree-view.
- F5 (refresh) with a folder in the tree selected collapses the entire tree.

Sorry about that…just figured since they were all related to the file explorer i’d keep them together. And yes, technically, server 2008 is equivalent to vista sp1. It’s functioning as my desktop (development box), and quite well i might add. :)
Thanks!

Tested everything in b3. These are still broken (updated with more detail)
- Deleting a folder loses focus of the main window (takes you to another application alltogether). This was on shift-delete. shift-delete from the main explorer window.
- moving a file via drag/drop also causes PA to lose focus. This happens when you move a folder from the main window into a folder in the tree-view.
Fixed in b3

Tested again in b4.

shift-delete of a folder causes PA to lose focus. i thought this was fixed in b4.
moving a folder via drag/drop into a subfolder in the tree view also causes PA to lose focus.
