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,
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.

Slow startup under Windows 7
-
I am experiencing a very slow PowerArchiver (latest version) startup, under Windows 7 64-bit. The issue is sporadic. It seems that once PowerArchiver loads (after a several second delay), then I no longer have the problem (at least for a while).
This isn’t a normal slow-program startup. My system is running super fast and I don’t have this issue with any other programs. I’m running ESET Antivirus, but I don’t think this is the cause since, as I say, after the first PowerArchiver load, it loads new ZIP files very quickly.
The startup speed doesn’t seem to be related to the size of the ZIP files. It appears to be PowerArchiver itself which is slow to start for the first time.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Logidelic,
Your 100% correct that doesnt sound rite. I sometimes have a slow start up on the 1st fresh boot but after that everything runs smoothly.
Can you share your system specs?
This is something i would do;
1. Uninstall PowerArchiver including Patchbeam and the Virtual Driver.
2. If you have any system cleaning products on your computer such as ccleaner do a full clean including registry, then reboot your system.
3. Then download the latest version and install again.
Dont forget to backup your current configuration for PA , But on install “dont” import them untill you have tested the speed on a fresh install.
See if you notice a difference on a complete fresh install without any personal configurations.
After than then configure your product, personally i would do this from scratch.
I know this sounds like a pain in the backside, but it will help us establish multiple area’s such as is it an upgrade issue, background tasking, registry issues, computer resource etc
Thanks.

First impression after uninstalling and re-installing is that it solved the problem! Seems weird to me, since the system was very clean and there was no reason for a dirty install, but there you have it.
This is just after two tries, so will followup further if I notice anything new.
Thank you!
-
maybe some setting? If it happens again, try saving config via Options and see if setting defaults help.

Your welcome! It has happened from time to time , but you can almost resolve every PA issue with a clean install.
Like Spwolf suggested, if this happens again send the guys at support the specs, and a copy of your config. This can aid them further.
-
Just an update: Unfortunately I spoke too soon. Seems like it didn’t really change anything afterall. I will send my config to support as suggested, but just a few more clues:
- After a slow startup, PowerArchiver will start very quickly at subsequent starts, BUT….
- This only lasts for an unexplained amount of time. For example the next day (no reboot!) I’ll have the exact same problem again.
- When the startup is slow, it’s close to 15 seconds before PowerArchiver shows up. This happens no matter how I bring up the UI (ex. right-click on a file and choose Extract Here… 15 seconds before it starts)
-
it looks like some antivirus thing - can you Please try uninstalling Antivirus you use, and then reboot computer and try extract here for instance… shell should always be instantly started (or close to it).
thank you and I am sorry for the issue you are experiencing…
-
problem is that you cant just disable any AV, it still works, so only way to test for sure is to remove and try without it….
-
since someone has reported something similar now with Avast, please let us know if disabling ESET works or uninstalling (you can install later)… that way we can report it to ESET.
there might be some virus that had start of file signature similar to pa.exe and hence now they auto check pa.exe due to bad flag setting. This happens every 3-4 years and we report it to them and they fix that flag so it doesnt happen.
-
gonna try this out with these 2 anti virus programs and see if can get the same slow startup time
-
Tried this with Eset Antivirus version 6.0.314.0
Virus definitions: 8164Worked fine, starts as usual.
I noticed that the startup time was very slow when Eset was doing it’s Quick Scan.
Is it possible that a quick scan or any scan was being performed at the time of your attempted start of PowerArchiver?Go ahead and send over your reg settings (zipped) to support and I can take a look while I still have Eset installed.
And try to reproduce with your exact settings.Thanks!
