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

Ho già contattato il supporto con il modulo presente qui https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ da settimane ma non ho ricevuto riscontro e ora che ho aggiornato alla versione 21.00.15 ho notato che il problema persiste.
Quando clicco PDF Encrypt & Sign nel tab Crittografia appare la schemata riportata sotto come se mancassero le funzionalità.I’ve already contacted support with the form here https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ weeks ago but I haven’t received any feedback and now that I’ve updated to version 21.00.15 I’ve noticed that the problem persists.

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!
Bug in 7z archives properties
-
when you create a 7z archive and then check its properties via PA, sometimes PA will fail to tell its compression, stating 0% when it’s not true…
For example, download this 7z archive:
[http://greg79.altervista.org/sw/debian jigdo-win-0.7.1a.7z](http://greg79.altervista.org/sw/debian jigdo-win-0.7.1a.7z) (right click and save)Then open it with PA (I’m using 9.11.01), and see that it states it has a 0% compression, while it hasn’t obviously.
Open it with WinRAR, for example, and it’ll correctly say
Uncompressed size: 2.515.893
Compressed size: 781.091
Compression ratio: 31%If it worked, PA would say 69% (to 100).
Can anyone of you confirm that, and check with some 7z files of your own?
Thanks! -
I can confirm this!
I have downloaded your archive and I have tha same problem (0%)
Also I created my own 7z archives… the same problem…Thanks,
-
any news about this, spwolf? :rolleyes:

Hi,
As mentioned in another thread, current PA does not display this info for 7zip files (under filelist either). Once we implement new 7zip code, you will be able to see this info, where available (unless it is solid archive I assume). We will have to redesign the properties window in any case, as mentioned on the wishlist.
thanks,

Hi,

this is not true…
in fact, I have that issue only with some 7z files, not with all of them!!look!
with the above file, all works perfectly…and it’s a 7zip file!
so,I think this is a bug, not a missing feature…
by the way…both files, are files I compressed to 7zip with PowerArchiver…and my settings for compressing include the “solid archive” option…so both files are solid archives.
what do you think?
-
Well, you are correct - 7zip saves original file size anyway.
Upon checking it a bit more - it is because of using Explorer view. It works just fine under Classic view. It seems that for 7zip, PA displays current archive path compression size info, while for other formats it shows overall info (size) at all times.
So reason % doesnt work in this case is because its compressed size is bigger than original file size and it really does not know what to do then.

I can’t understand…
what is bigger than original file size? the 7z archive’s uncompressed size is 2.515.893, its compressed size is 781.091…
what do you mean by “current archive path compression size”?
anyway, you’re right…under classic style view compression properties are correctly shown.
but, eventually, don’t you think this is a bug? I sure do.
-
If you check at the status bar, you will see that it shows current uncompressed data for FILES in the PATH that you are currently in. This means when calculating % in the properties, it comes out to negative since uncompressed size is less than compressed size. If you check at the status bar, you will see what I mean. When you go throught paths, you will notice how the values change and they should not for this purpose.
I think it is actually useful since you can now see current path info however it really should work as in Classic mode and that way compression % would be correct as well. It will be our priority to fix this BUG for next version.
thanks,
