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.

Extraction problem
-
I am going to have to offer this post. However, I cannot send more information or do further testing right now. Sorry.
I know this will not make you happy. For that reason, I almost didn’t offer the post at all. Yet on the off chance this might help some other user . . .
I went back to 2010. I will try 2011 again after the full release is out and has gone through a couple of updates, perhaps late spring.
Here’s why. Using 2011, even for the past week, has gotten my home and work computers out of sync – and I just discovered it. It will take some effort to determine exactly what files were not updated.
I move files back and forth from home to work via archives, built by PBScripts.
I just discovered early this morning that 2011 was not extracting all the files as it should. But there was no error message warning me of the problem. It just didn’t extract them. So I was not keeping the files in sync as I want.
I know it wasn’t extracting pst files. I am fairly sure it wasn’t extracting at least some other files as well. But I am not certain.
Once I uninstalled and reinstalled 2010, everything was fine. All the files extracted as exactly as they should.
The plausible inference, is that 2011 has a glitch, or else that there is some obscure setting.
BTW, I did have UAC elevation checked (I believe it is checked by default).
Again, I just cannot do more right now other than offer this report.
If this is more hassle to you than it is worth, let me know and, in the same circumstances, I will keep silent.
My hope was that some other user might be able to see the problem as well, and help you find a solution.
-
can’t say I’ve encountered anything of this nature since installing it buddy…done quite a bit of compressing and extracting but from what I can see all is working fine on that level of testing…if I do have a similar issue I will post back here.
-
I do remember experiencing transfer issues with PA 2011 during Alpha testing. This was reported and how we had to resolve this was going through all the settings again and applying.
Now this resolved the issue for me, but not sure if its the same for you.

Can you send us an example archive?
Did you have both computers using PA2011 or?
Actual extraction engine should be the same as in 11.71 (with some updates that shouldnt have anything to do with extraction of files).
-
was it not compressing files properly or not extracting them? I assume you used PA 2011 backup via pbs for compressing and then PA 2011 for extracting?
or did you use PA 2010 backup for compression and then PA 2011 for extracting?
Also, what version of PA 2010?
thanks a lot!

@Sir:

Now this resolved the issue for me, but not sure if its the same for you.
what you had was old PBS not working in PA 2011 Backup… what he is reporting is that not all files are being compressed/extracted as they should.
It could be million things, hard to say right now… could be something in the zip engine (although they should be very similar), there could be that one of the pbs settings is not applied and hence files are not filtered properly… or maybe it is extraction engine? :-)
-
Unfortunately, without (at least) the PBS files socrates used; I don’t think there is much that can be tested/checked. The number of possible variations is daunting!
All we know is that the PBS files were used “to synchronise” between computers (Windows 7).
We can infer that the archive (unknown format) was created - maybe using some form of date/modification check, maybe not.
Then an extraction, again maybe checking/maybe not?
Unless someone else “stumbles” across the problem… -
due to Luxor’s post in another thread, we found an issue with extracting selected folders and fixed what we could reproduce and what luxor could reproduce.
please check with 12.00.38 RC2, get it via patchbeam….
thanks!

I had a free half hour, so I did a test.
The central problem appears to be the handling of .pst files. (I think there might have been other problems too. But with the help of Luxor, you may have solved them.)
The problem, I now see, is not only – or even primarily – extraction, but how I use 2011 to built the archive. If my transfer archive includes my .pst file AND that PST file was open when PA copied it, then that file will not successfully extract to the other computer.
However, if I rebuild that archive when Outlook is closed (so VSS isn’t required), it copies . . . and extracts . . . the PST file just fine.
That suggests that VSS within PA does not successfully handle PST files.
The problem appears to be PA’s use of VSS since I have successfully copied PST files with at least two different programs using VSS.
That’s my best guess at the moment.
No time for more tests for a week or three.
Sorry.
-
to make PST work with VSS, you have to enable always use: .pst VSS option… otherwise it will not work properly.
Using VSS is slow, so we dont want to have (in PowerArchiver), option that will “always” use VSS because we make assumption that a lot of people will use it without need… thats why the option is there.
-
to know that VSS has worked, you will get UAC prompt once VSS activates, that will elevate PA to Admin so UAC can be used.
-
I did have that option set (always use with .PST).
I did not get a pop up window for UAC elevation.
-
just did a backup on a 64bit machine, VSS enabled, Added outlook.pst to backup tracklist while outlook is open, clicked “Do Backup”, Uac appeared and clicked YES, in a few seconds compression started and all was fine.
Worked the same on a 32bit machine as well.Do the other programs you tried VSS with show UAC?
can you try another locked file to see if it works with PA?
