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.

PASHLEXT.DLL is blamed by Raymond

Blamed for slow right click.
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2010/01/04/fix-for-very-slow-or-hang-when-right-click-on-a-file-or-folder/ -
probably interferance with antivirus or something, without proper report nothing we can do… PA does not scan .zip files when right click, so there is no chance for it to cause slowness.
-
without proper report nothing we can do…
Yeah, but it’s not good for publicity. Isn’t it worth at least sending email to the author?
-

you are right of course… lets see if we can get to the bottom of that.
-
p.s. not for publicity, but i dont like that there might be an issue with PA that I am not aware of ;-). It will be curious to see what was the culprit.

I had the very same problem, investigating with Sysinternals’ Porcess monitor I noticed my problem occurred when it read the keys HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files\Active_File*W one by one and tried to “queryBasicInformationFile” on files on network resources that were no longer available, such as \MyRemoteMachine\MySharedFolder\myfile.zip
I simply removed the offending HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files\Active_File4W key from the registry and right click slow down was gone -

I simply removed the offending HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files\Active_File4W key from the registry and right click slow down was goneeven if network resource is not gone, it might take a while to respond… i have already set that for investigation because it seems that it reads it first time and then removes them (meaning you get slowdown once at least). They should not be read at all.
thanks for the info…

Please check if following pre-release fixes the issue:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc116202.exeand let us know… thank you!

This post is deleted! -
Unfortunately the pre-release v11.62.02 does not fix the right-clicking delay issue. I’m running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and KIS 2010. I don’t think the problem is network related. I have noticed that it happens sporadically (not every time you right-click). My feeling is that it is related to AV software or it affects only the 64-bit PA shell extension or the combo 64-bit and AV software. This is really an annoying problem and I’m praying every night for a solution to became available quickly.
Sorry for my premature post. I was so excited with a possible solution to this annoying problem that I forgot to log off or reboot my machine before testing the pre-release version and after rebooting… it works!!! The delay is gone.

praying to the PA gods? :-).
can you check the date on the pashell dll and see if it is 2/1/2010… dev team might not have updated it for 64bit for pre-release as well but lets see if your dll is updated first of all.
you can go to hkcu>software>powerarchiver, delete that key completly and then see if you still have the slowdown (that will let you know if it is MRU issue).
Tricky thing about it is that it depends on your network… if windows has recent cache it will not query your network at all, and you will not notice the slowdown for instance… until it needs to query it again or computer is simply missing.

p.s. you should have posted sooner in this thread that you have issue with it…

that’s the weird part… it worked but…
PASHLEXT.DLL
version: 11, 6, 1, 1
date: 02/12/2009 19:21:48
size: 238.456This is after a full uninstall, reboot and then install pre-release. So dll not updated for 64-bit? But no update required in order to correct the issue? I’m confused here.

probably due to the fact that dll actually just calls PA to do the work, and this has been fixed on PA side…
