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.
Quando clicco PDF Encrypt & Sign nel tab Crittografia appare la schemata riportata sotto come se mancassero le funzionalità.I’ve already contacted support with the form here https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ weeks ago but I haven’t received any feedback and now that I’ve updated to version 21.00.15 I’ve noticed that the problem persists.
When I click on PDF Encrypt & Sign in the Encryption tab the schematic below appears as if the functionality is missing.de9b4a2d-07e7-4323-a5a3-1b91e73dafc0-image.png

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!
PA memory crash with 7zip
-
Hi there,
once again… :)
You had this issue solved in last version and here it is again in the new version.
But this time I found the reason I hope.Doing my packups with 7zip of a directory. In this directory are also zip files. Whenever PA reaches the zip files that shall be compressed with 7zip it crashes with the error that the hdd is full or the directory not writable.
Unfortunately the workaround to change the compression level does not work anymore. So again no backups. :confused:
The backup with zip instead of 7zip doesnt even start. Only creates a huge progessor gain.Regards, alex
-
how many files total, both size and count, are to be backed up? thanks
-
Sorry for the delay…
9.6gb, 122000 Files and 13000 Folders…
In the previous version it worked very well…!!
-
try turning off optimized compression and see if it helps.
As to the zip, try waiting a bit - i think it is not crashing but it is taking time to build an list of files to be compressed…
thanks
-
Didn’t work either…
-
waiting a bit didnt work for zip?
-
How long…? Waited for 20 Minutes…
Something was changed for the new release I guess… :(
-
Even in the new update the error occurs. Any new ideas?
-
nope, nothing has changed… we have tested internally and we can not reproduce… we will try more.
-
Is there any more Information I can give you…
-
Would it help if I change backup type from normal to full?
-
i dont think so… try changing some other options to see if something else might be affecting it.
We have just tried creating backup from 20 GB/77,000 files and everything worked properly.
Try breaking that backup into 2 different backups - does that help?
thanks!
-
Two different jobs or just split files?
-
two different jobs… see what happens then?
thanks!
-
we believe that this issue has been fixed in Beta 1, please check it out and let us know if it works properly.
thanks!
-
Problem still exists. No improvement here…
-
well then it is some other issue :-).
so it happens only when zip files are there?
-
I splitted the same Folder in 4 jobs and it worked…
SAME FILES…!!!
Folder in 1 job crashes…
-
is there an difference now between different compresion levels in 7zip? solid/non solid?
-
Didn’t check yet. I just did a check with the same settings as the 4 jobs just in 1 job.
-
can you try compressing same folder via shell extensions, manually (not in backup), with same compression settings… does that work?
-
I uninstalled it. ALL backups didn’t run with errors solved in the last version. Did a rollback hoping things to work again.
-
Dear PA Team,
I don’t know how you are tesing. Maybe I should be one of your beta testers.
Did the rollback. Some old backup jobs work, some don’t. How can this be? Right click works. pbs does not work. I just don’t know what your QA is doing.
Look I am trying to use the tool as a daily backup tool. Wasn’t it ment that PA can do this too?
Somehow with every new verson bugs in doing backups get bigger…
Very disappointing…!!! -
…Maybe I should be one of your beta testers…
You are (as are the rest of us using it) - PA 2010 is a beta.

Very disappointing…!!!two big 7zip backup issues were solved in this version, and we cant reproduce issue you have so you have to help us somehow :-).
-
Can you please post your pbs file here?
I have tried many situations to reproduce this but could not, we simply need more information. I have tried compressing 200,000 files and 80 GB of data and backup worked fine.
