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).

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.

Start up time before unzipping is slow!
-
Is there anyway you guys could speed up the time for when opening archives?
I am not talking about the unzipping part but the time it takes to start the unzipping after I click Extract Here button.
I just wish it was faster. I see the slow speed the most on bigger files.
-
Which version are you using? How large is the file you are opening?
How are you opening the file?Thanks!
-
is it slower on big files, faster on small files?

I am running the latest build 11.61.07
As far as the files all sizes but it seems the slowest on really big ones like files over 1GB.

curious to know what your hardware is also.

basically it is part of extraction process (it scans through the archive), it is just that progress does not start before it, so it looks like PA is doing nothing, rest assured that is.
I am talking about the difference between extracting 1 file in archive and 100,000 files in archive. Before that is PA startup time which we are always working on optimizing a bit.
-
it also very much depends on the format…

WinRAR for exampe is much faster starting the unpacking of really big files.
Is kind of hard to explain.
What I mean is when i upack a big file with WinRAR the WinRAR interface displays almost instant and starts unpacking. Where as PowerArchive’s interface is slower at opening and kind looks like its frozen for a second and then starts to unpack.
You understand what i mean?
I guess you could say WinRAR seem smoother :)

Yes, i understand exactly… When it comes to actual speed (not perception), it depends on what format you use. Starting to extract 100,000 files in rar archive is a lot slower than in zip, because unrar.dll is slower to list those files.
But what you are reffering is perception probably, as PA progress shows only after pa engine goes through the archive, so it looks like it is stalling for 0.5-1s, but it is actually working.
-
similar system to mine…I just tested an archive (zip) with just over 15,000 files and it started to extract after about 2 seconds.
I assume yours is taking much longer?Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz

and also PA is 0.1-0.4s slower to start by itself, we constantly work on shaving 100ms’s from that time ;-).

I assume yours is taking much longer?i think he is reffering to first 1 second of the process… Its basically cosmetical as it gives perception that PA is not doing anything for a second or so (depending on archive and other things).
-
yes it does give that appearance as though doing nothing but I always knew it was working ‘behind the scenes’ before dealing with the task at hand…:)

Exactly :)
I wish there was a way you could some how make it so the PowerArchiver UI starts up almost instantly and then starts the unpacking.
Maybe you could do something like this for example.
Have the PowerArchiver UI open right away and then on the UI have a count down like “starting in 3,2,1”
I think that would look a lot nicer then the way it is now which looks like the ui is freezing.
Its just an idea :)
Anyway thanks for your help and info guys :)

it is something that annoys me personally as well, so we are always working on improving it ;-). Just be assured that PA is actually working during that time.
