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 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.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?
Thank you for your support in advance!

its ouit of date download version wrong website needs to be more interactive as well
more copmpetitions and challanges so people make powerarchiver specific plugins
-
Totally agree. It would be nice if this was the first port of call (not twitter/fb etc) that has all the latest information. Other businesses can achieve it, so I am sure that it would not be difficult to PA to implement. :)

It was discused awhile ago that the website would be getting a overall change making it more modern and simpler to navigate.
No preview has been shown yet, but I am sure they will be implementing changes relivant to your requests.
-
I think an updated website is still someways off…
the team seem to be focused on reaching a final release of PA but I’m sure the website is a focal point of theirs. -
I never said the website would be a higher Priority :) I just said that it was on the list of jobs being done, from what i have been told.
The release of the Application is the highest priority as it is this that brings in an income.

awesome suggestions!
as to the left overs, forgot to remove them… not enough people visited from those countries (they usually download from their own download sites or mags). We do English and Deutsch in the house.

I like a lot VLC’s and Operas new sites, they look great.
I am not sure how do they interact more, i think level of our interaction via fb and twitter is all right and more than any other compression utility… xplorer2 has old school website and news section is updated 3 times per year :)
opera also doesnt interact with its users?
-
any other suggestions? I like utorrent.com… but keep in mind that all these are free products, we need something that mixes things up :).
-
Just my 2 cents: I have no problem with PA website except that the “latest news” often has nothing close to the latest news about release versions.
Alpha, Beta & RC info don’t need to (actually probably shouldn’t) go here, but kept in twitter and/or blog posts if you want to announce them to a wide group.
But the website should definitely have up-to-date and correct info about the release packages; this issue is really independent of a redesign.

Well, to be fair, xplorer site is updated, whenever there is an update, it’s a one-man show :D
Opera has lots of interaction…
- The website is updated regularly with news etc.
- User Forums
- Team “blogs” - DesktopTeam / Core Devs / JavaScript Team etc. for Alpha releases and Special Test
- Youtube (like PA)
- Opera devs have personal “Blogs” and “Twitter”.
- Only the “bug-tracking” is closed.
- Opera wasn’t always free (site was similar when paid for).
I do think PA is also good - just things like the “latest news” etc. is always out of date. This forum is one of the best, though (due to spwolf, mili and even ivan “popping in”).
It is hard to find a good “paid software” website.
And impossible to find an Compression/Archiver site I would even suggest you should look at :p -
Was going to give Opera as an example but I see Terry beat me to it. :D

I’ve had a hell of a week, Helped save a half a mill account from leaving my employer because of a fracking idiot account manager. Yet didnt receive one thanks!
Then ended up having to reload 2 months of Sales Records due too the Idiots in ashford not checking the data from depots, and after all that to top it off some noob decided to change a customer’s hierarchy structure that then duplicated statistics per customer and THEN sent off stats off to them thus the customer invoiced us Twice the amount for a contracted rebate, of which we then had to tell them it was an error.
Just one of them weeks!

any other design suggestions? Keep posting them :-)

To be fair, I don’t think it is a design problem. Just something that is not “out of date”!

i know, but i am looking for design suggestions :-).
I need to write up an document with examples to the potential designers.

as plain & simple as it might look the current eset nod site has a popular corporate look to it but each to his or her own I guess…:)
-
too old school moles :-).
need fresh and yet business friendly.
-
that’s me exactly ‘spwolf’'….‘old school’…:)

I like clean and fresh designs :)
Something on the lines of the following would be nice:
http://www.comodo.com/
http://www.acronis.co.uk/index.html -
http://www.mediamonkey.com/ - too dark for my taste, but very good navigation structure, which is pretty similar to what PA would need
http://www.techsmith.com/ - design is a bit old school too, but the way they structure their navigation menu is pretty good.
http://www.helium-music-manager.com/ - pretty good site
http://www.piriform.com/ - nice and clean design -
good suggestions all, keep it coming :-)

Avast did a very similar thing, now there site looks like this;
its clean, fresh, colourful and has both Home & Business tabs, including community section.
The about us section also great, they give a clear friendly and pro aproach making people feel like they know the developers even more.
Because PowerArchiver is so focused and directional with their customers I would certainly suggest more detail on the developer’s, owners and possibly key Testers etc.
It also has History, something always nice to know when considering buying from companies you dont know much about.
