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.

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

Upper section kinda funky.

Hello, all;
Hope this hasn’t been discussed before, but I did try a couple of searches, none of which gave me any results.
I’m using version 12.00.41 with Mike Bryant’s awesome steampunk/futuristic Colony skin, but this happens with other skins, too. It doesn’t happen with the default classic skin, however, nor with some of the other skins packaged with PA.
When I wear MyPA or Colony, however, the upper section of the application sort of captures whatever is behind it. It’s not transparent really, because when I move the window, the stuff it captured stays put. It makes for reading the menu buttons up there pretty difficult for this old feller to read. :eek:
Does this funky phenomenon sound familiar to anyone, or might someone give me some direction in which to look for a solution? Rebooting doesn’t help. Both AVG and Avast say no viruses, malware, trojans, or etc.
Peace,
Mally
-
A lot has changed in PA 2011. You don’t mention which license you have, but I suspect the skins may need updating - especially for Toolbox registration (and therefore unregistered/trial versions as well).
-
What OS please?
-
Thanks, both of you for having taken the time to respond. First, spywolf, I’m using WinXP SP3, and dreading the day I’ll no longer be able to do that.
TBGBe; currently, I’m using a registered copy of 2011 v12.00.41 having just upgraded from 12.00.28, I believe. I didn’t have this issue with that slightly earlier version. I haven’t started looking yet for an updated version of Bryant’s Colony skin; that comes next.
Googled for “WinXP aston2 toolbox”, and found no relevant results. Is that a 2+2 over there emerging on the horizon, or is that a separate download I haven’t found yet?
Peace,
Mally
PS; hope the image I added to my original post yesterday helps illustrate better than my words what’s happening.
-
i do not remember any difference in skins between RC1 and RC3, i dont think we changed anything.
Did you try re-installing RC3?

I don’t think the skins have been updated (or if they ever will be) - they have been untouched since 2006!
The Toolbox I referred to was PowerArchiver Toolbox, introduced with PA 2011 (Bitdefender et al).
Although, as spwolf says, if the skins worked with 12.00.28 then they should still be OK.
I’ve just tried with both Colony and MyPA skins and both work fine for me. Although, now I can’t remember if this was an upgrade (via Patchbeam) or a “clean install” :(
-
Thanks again for your response, spywolf. I hadn’t before, but I did just a bit ago grab the freshest copy from your website: “PowerArchiver 2011, 12.00 RC3
English”. No difference in that weird upper section yet though.I had saved what few config changes I’d made when I uninstalled and reinstalled this fresh copy. Tr reinstall failing to make a change, I wondered if I’d made a wrong decision somewhere in my configuration. I went back to “Set Installation Defaults”. No difference. Now, I really am going to set out to find a hopefully newer version of that skin than the one I have. You’ve been very helpful; thanks again.
Peace,
Mally

Patchbeam had some problem and tells me still, after the clean install, that “PatchBeam 2011 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” Doing it manually was no problem, though.
I still can’t find the Toolbox, or how to access it. When I hit “help > contents” in hopes that would give me a clue, I got “Cannot find PowerArchiver help. Please reinstall PowerArchiver”. Any idea what might be getting in the way of completing this installation?
-
Uninstall this version and install RC1:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2011/powarc1200rc1.exeSee if it still works.
We use skinning engine (Direct Skin) for the skinning support, and we updated it for version 12.00 but I dont think we had changes between RC1 and RC3. Trying out RC1 will make sure it is not due to that.
thanks!
-
Heh :) When I tried to uninstall that last version via the “add & remove programs” screen, I got, “There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program needed for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel, or package vendor.”
I’m in no particular hurry to fix this, but I sure appreciate the speedy replies from both of you.

Here is Windows Instaeller uninstaller:
http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=4459&file=15&evp=fe1c76da3437592326a3d668d72bf8f5Install it and run, file PowerArchiver and uninstall. They you will be able to properly install new version.
Something was definitively wrong with your installation.

Well, I started poking around in my system registry, first to get rid of anything I could find from the first instal of PA I made, but as I did so, I found references to dozens of apps that were long ago removed from my system…I thought. I started removing those, only to find dozens if not hundreds more. Bought a registry clean-up utility, and got rid of well over 1,000 useless keys, and updated some outdated drivers while I was at it. Plus, it does a much more thorough and speedy defrag than the one I had been using. PC Health Adviser v3.1 if anyone reading this later is interested.
Even after all of that, it tells me still that “A more recent version of PowerArchiver 2011 is already installed on this computer”.
Did a search for “powarc”, all four were installation related, and deleted 'em. Downloaded again the RC3 version, and still have the same issue as described in the first post.
Long as you have any ideas to try, I’ll try 'em. I wish I could have been able to test the RC1 version. I’d like to have known what that would have told me.
-
You can uninstall RC3 and install RC1… It will work fine :-).

I was getting kind of tired of this project. So, when I read your last post, I decided just to wait a day or two, and then come back to it.
Besides, I thought, I wanted to dig into SkinStudio, WindowBlinds, and Aston2 and start learning their relationship, and how to use them. I was reading the Aston2 FAQ, and about 2/3 the way down, quite by happen chance, found this:
"Q: I use Windows Blinds and my Main Menu is displayed incorrectly in Aston. Any way to fix it?
A: Please try the following solution: 1. open WindowsBlinds settings 2. select ‘Per Application’ option 3. press ‘Add per application setting’ button 4. find aston.exe 5. Mark in “ignore this application and do not skin it” checkbox"
So, I tried that with PowerArchiver, and that fixed my problem. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” holds true, but boy howdy, it sure is handy to have the internet.
Thank you again so much for all your help. Problem solved!Sure hope all this typing helps to serve someone else with a similar issue someday.
Peace,
Mally
-
I didnt realize you were using WindowsBlinds, at all… I thought you used our skins?
-
I am. My ultimate goal is to make my own theme. When you start a project like this from the ground up, there are a lot of new file extensions and software applications that are unfamiliar.
You see a theme or skin that you like, realize that the words aren’t exactly interchangeable, and begin pouring through all the reading material you can find on each of them.
I haven’t settled in my own mind what extension I’ll use in the end, but I want to be familiar enough with each of them that I can make a considered decision. I’m still not certain of a lot of things. I’m even too much of a noob to be asking very many questions yet.
Am I mistaken in having concluded that PA skins only itself, and not the Windows shell?
Peace,
Mally
-
Yes, you are mistaken. Although associated filetype icons (Zip, RAR, Tar etc) can also be “skinned” by PA skins when displayed in explorer (and clones).
