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 extraction from spanned RAR
-
35 parts (each 100MB) containing the total of 150 files (each about 23MB) divided into 10 folders.
In this situation, extracting 10 files from one of the folders is very slow. As soon as the progress windows appears, it is almost frozen. After a long while, the progress bar finally starts moving. When you think extraction is finished, the progress window is frozen again for a long time. The overall extraction time is very long. I tried WinRAR and 7-Zip, and PA is definitely taking a longer time.
Is anyone experiencing the same?

nice n fast here, anyone else?

I know from http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4363
That you have Win 7 (32 bit).
Does the rar also have unicode file/folder names?
Do you know what rar options were used to create it (e.g. solid etc)? -

Do you know what rar options were used to create it (e.g. solid etc)?No unicode. Solid, RAR version 2.9. No password or comment.
I am afraid that there are a lot of variables related to this. It might be hard to pin down what is going on.
Just bump this topic if you guys experienced similar things :)

can you upload archive to our ftp? if so, send us an email to support @ conexware . com refferencing this thread so we can send you the info.
It should be faster rather than slower… it might be something very particular that unrar.dll chokes on.
thanks

I think I found out what the problem is. It’s Microsoft Security Essentials.
http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/default.aspxThis is reminiscent of the Kaspersky problem.
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4325
In my case, extraction is the problem. This is when a part of an archive is extracted from the main window. When the entire archive is extracted (from the main window or Explorer right-click), the problem is barely noticeable. Also, the severity of the problem depends on the size of an archive (not the size of files you choose to extract).Now, I think it’s natural that virus software checks extracted files. But the problem is, as I said above, it’s very particular when this happens in PA and, when it happens, PA’s progress windows hangs. WinRAR and 7-Zip don’t have such problem. I excluded extracted files’ extension and path from checking, but the same result.
Virus software really doesn’t like how PA does things, does it? :(

email them with example… they will then whitelist PA and it should work faster.
Kaspersky issue was very very different.
More people complain about things as this, it gets fixed sooner by AV companies.

AV companies fix incompatibilities quicky enough, they are worried about lawsuits - ie angle to take would be it effects only one program while competition works fine ;-)

all AV companies have emails that are very hard to find, i wonder why ;-).
It took me longer to find where to send complaint about Kaspersky and AVG then to write actual complaint ;-)

Just out of interest - is turning off “real time scanning” enough or is it more complicated?

Complete uninstallation is needed because many anti-virus programs put a driver deep in the kernel level.

UPDATE:
I found a way around. Exclude the temporary directory specified in Configuration > Folders in the anti-virus program.
I don’t recommend using the default temp directory for this purpose because it’s also the system temp directory. Excluding it would expose your system to a great risk.
Of course, the best way is that MS will do something about it. After all, WinRAR and 7-Zip don’t need such tweaking.
