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.

With PowerArchiver context menu enabled, it is crashing Windows 10 File Explorer when right-clicking on the Default User junction in C:\Users.

Upload to FTP counts -%?
-
I am uploading a .7z file to my FTP and its counting completed it -%'s and not showing a progress bar. I am pretty sure its uploading the file.
Also…when you click on cancel it seems to take it as a suggestion and you have to hit the exit button 3-4 times for the window to finally close. It does this when zipping files as well…any idea on that?
-
Not sure about ftp uploading, but during Compression/Extraction “Cancel” actually means when current file operation (that’s file NOT archive) is finished.
PA has to wait for the “library” function to return control to the GUI.Actually, maybe ftp is similar??
-
I have attached the pic I took of it uploading to my FTP.
As far as canceling or stopping an archive/FTP upload in progress…what is the best method? Like I said currently I hit the x button 3-4 times and it will close.
-

PA has to wait for the “library” function to return control to the GUI.I understand this is true for PA, but I wish it would cancel when you hit cancel. 7Zip, for example, cancels immediately when you tell it to, there is no waiting, no matter how large the current file happens to be.
-
uploading via File> Send> FTP?
-
Yeah, after I created the archive I right clicked then did PA…FTP it and then the location.

complaining about it is first and major step into fixing it :-)

ok, thats from shell… will take an look
-
Did you want me to try it from the program itself? Also…I second the suggestion that Dragon57 had…hitting cancel should probably cancel the whole thing (at least IMO). Should i start a thread in the suggestions/wishlist area?

yes please… and yes, you should want everything to work to your liking… then if something is not possible for whatever reason, we will say so.
but do not be restricted by what we say :-)

Odd spwolf….I tried another file and its at 100% uploaded (done same way) but there is no way its done…its a 6 GB file (other was 2gb) both were done in the same way. I just tried to upload them by opening PA and it stays at 0 bytes and wont even attempt to upload. Hmmm.
-
ok, we will try from our end…
-
OK I closed PA and reopened…and inside PA I did another upload (same file and it is now uploading…but has the same issue (% doesn’t change on this one). Must be a % based issue…hope I was of help!
-
very helpful!
-
I have been watching this thread. I have tried it several times, and the progress bars and the %s are working just fine.
I have tried it within PA and using the shell. Works fine either place.
Odd
-
i suspect it has something to do with files over 2 GB / 4GB and since this entirely new component in 2011, it makes sense.
-
Does make sense.
But I am giving it a test right now. If my results are different, I will let you know. But FTPing a file in excess of 2 gig will definitely take some time.
-
I did not wait for it to finish.
For what it is worth, I got a slightly different result.
My progress started at above 250% – and it was counting down (252, 251, 250 . . .)
-
that was file over 2 GB?
-
yes . . . about 2.6
-
Both mine were over 2 GB. One was 2.2 and the other was 6+. Other files do work fine.
