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.

W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

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,
Cannot login and request resend license code for my fd

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,
Settings lost

I just installed 11.60.08 via the automatic updater. After installing, I noticed my settings under Configuration > Folders and Configuration > Locations had been reset to the defaults.
I don’t check those settings frequently, so I don’t really know if the installer screwed them up, or if it happened some other time.
I just did a repair install of PA and the settings weren’t wiped out. I don’t know what to tell you but I thought I’d report it, even if this report sucks.
-
We had to change how some values are stored so they would work in non-english systems, hence few old registry keys were not carried over into 11.60.
-
It doesn’t suck. I can confirm, just did automatic upgrade and whole configuration got screwed up->PA doesn’t even work now. Trying to fix, will report more.
-
OK, here we go. After autoupdate, when PA was supposed to start, I got “Invalid cursor handle” error, followed by exception. Happend for the first time after years with PA, so I was so surprised, I didn’t make a note of it, sorry. PA started anyway but apparently very ill. All UI elements were displayed at once, with everything contained in one window frame (I mean, ribbon was INSIDE of the window, not part of the frame). I downloaded manualy setup again, made repair install and PA started with everything in default (what a pain to set it up again:(). Now it appears to run properly.
-
ah, too bad you did anything… it would have helped if you had saved your registry key so we can indentify those keys making trouble…
what language version are you using?
-
Sorry but I desparately needed to unpack some files. I spent last few hours trying to unrar some archives which are most probably alright but still I’m getting CRC error.:confused: That’s actually why I did upgrade.
I’m using english PA on english W7RCx64 (which probably isn’t supported by PA, I wouldn’t be surprised). -
I can’t open preview sidebar now (buttons react but no window is displayed) and headers after some resizing can get frozen and PA has to be restarted to make them changeable again. Modern black skin, viewing style Explorer with folders. Also taskbar progress in W7 doesn’t work (it used to, atl. sometimes).
After the update went wrong before, also registration information disappeared if it is of any importance. Looks to me like whole PA reg. hive got corrupted. -

It has nothing to do with unraring or taskbar progress though…

thanks, got the preview button issue
-
Cool, you’re welcome. That was quick. :)
-
hopefully if someone else gets the other issue they will email us first :-).
p.s. no need to reinstall in the future, just use “reset to default” option under Options…
-
(even now it will fix that issue with the preview)
-
Will do that. Thanks a lot for help!
-
We improved this in the future so first time, these old entries are copied (for future upgraders to 11.6)… :).
thank you…

You’re welcome. That’s even better than warrning or someting, great job!
