For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Where are various settings store . . . e.g. ftp, etc.

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).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
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 Dear,

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?
Outlook Plugin not working with latest beta
-
I can’t get the plugin for Outlook to compress any files in Outlook now, since updating to the latest beta. Anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
-
you mean with rc1? (.48?)
-
This post is deleted! -
I didn’t realize that was a Release Candidate. Sorry for the mix-up. But the Outlook plugin doesn’t work with the RC.
-
excellent, thank you :)
-
confirmed in vista 32 bit…
the plugin shows in the tools/options of outlook but doesn’t show any options after I add attachments to email. -
I am using XP Pro SP3. Sorry I didn’t state that in my first post.
-
Any word on a fix for this issue? I am hard-pressed in Outlook without it.
-
it will be fixed in RC2, faster than that nope :)
-
hmph, we tested it for RC2 and it works here with .48?
Anything specific about configuration? Did it stop working with .48 while it worked before?
-
The plug-in wrks for me with RC1. I have Outlook 2007 and Windows Vista

No, it never worked with .48 for me.

Ok, we might have a clue here to what is going on. After I installed the Outlook plugin, I installed the Snagit that installs a plugin in Outlook (OfficeAddin.dll). Aand after that I installed Windows Search for Outlook (mssphtb.dll). Does this help at all?

try disabling each one of them and see what happens.
thanks

I got it working again, I uninstalled it an re-installed it and now it is working. Disabling the other plugins didn’t help. I think what happened is one of the registry entries for the plugin either got deleted or messed up. I have been beta testing a registry cleaner and that might have caused the problem. Might be a good idea to adjust the permissions for the registry entries so no cleaner can delete them.
-
good :-)
-
doesn’t work for us all though…:(
-
did you try reinstall or checking disabled list in Outlook plugin list?
-
Make sure you do an uninstall of the plugin first. I did a re-install over it the first time and it didn’t fixed the problem. It doesn’t seem to repair the registry entries if you install OVER it.
I doubt it’s a plugin causing it as none of mine were the problem. I think the plugin needs to be update.

he might not have the same issue as you…

It doesn’t hurt to try what worked for me exactly as I did it, first, does it?

of course, it was more of an comment about other plugins - as there could be interfeerence and it could be blocked.
-
Unless they installed a plugin that would interfere AFTER they installed the Outlook plugin, I don’t see how it could be a plugin, is all I’m saying. Especially if it stops working after a PowerArchiver upgrade. Something has to have changed in PowerArachiver for an upgrade to cause that, I would think. But going through the plugins in Outlook one by one to be sure doesn’t hurt, either. At least that should narrow it down some.

well thats assuming if someone knows whats caused it… i doubt they do. People install/uninstall things every day. Most of them dont remember it.
There is no chance of PAOP stopping working after RC1 update itself, since PA doesnt do anything that affects PAOP. If shell extensions work, PAOP should work too. If it works here, it should work there, nothing really complicated.
-
I thought for sure it was an Outlook plugin problem with another plugin, but it almost had to be something in the registry that got changed when beta testing the registry program. The uninstall and re-install worked for me. Other than that, I am at a loss as to what their problem with it could be. I’ll be curious to see how it plays out.

I had it installed last week and it was showing in the options tabs but wouldn’t give me any options to zip when using attachments…today however I installed vista service pack 2 and it doesn’t even show in the outlook tabs anymore even after a fresh reinstall and reboot.
Just tested it with Rc2 11.50.49 but same result I’m afraid…it still refuses to show in the outlook options tabs so I had to uninstall it.

PA 2010 has nothing to do with Outlook plugin being installed or not.
So installing/reinstalling PA 2010 has not effect on Outlook plugin.
What you need to do is uninstall Outlook plugin (uninstall!) and then install it again. See what happens.
p.s. there are default exclusions that you need to check in PowerArchiver tab in Outlook once PAOP is installed, as not all files will be compressed by default.
-
I’d already tried what you suggested…uninstall and reinstall and even cleared registry entries from the plugin…the tab won’t even show in outlook anymore I’m afraid.
oh by the way…the thread you closed http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3785 still doesn’t work for me in vista with or without service pack 2…the backup window is at maximum width no matter how many times I resize it…just thought I’d report it after guido confirmed it as working for him.

see if it is on list of disabled plugins in Outlook.
Also what Vista - 32bit, 64bit?
as to the preview window, try clearing defaults, old settings are messing it up, once cleared, it worked for me fine.
-
32 bit vista as it says in my signature details…:)
preview window working after resetting to defaults as instructed…thank you.
-
check the disabled list.
-
disabled list is empty in outlook

Voodooo :)
