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.

Hi guys!
I encrypted some files with password and after a little whilte tried to add 5 more files to the existing *.pae archive. Everything went fine and at the end I was asked if I want to save the changes to the old archive (with the new added files). Confirmed……and then NOT RESPONDING…and then when I tried to open the archive it thinks a little while, says decrypting and then stops and a message comes WRONG PASSWORD. And the password is correct. Is there a way to fix the archive now and save at least some of the files? I now that if it was .zip it would be possible to repair, but what about *.pae ?!? Please help! Thanks in advance to everyone!

I’ve heard this kinda problem a few times ref encrypted archive’s & .pae’s being corrupted due to a crash during loading/exporting.
And unfortunetly, I am not aware of anyone or any means to recover them nor from my knowlege does PowerArchiver have a tool that can repair their own format.
I’m no conexware devleloper and with the latest version of PA being released soon its possible there have been some developments within that area.
I wouldnt hold my hopes up. Sorry I couldnt give you any good advice.
This is why I backup my files using online sources, thus if something goes wrong I can atleast revert to a historic version.
-
Well, that’s really bad news. I don’t see a reason to use the power archiver since there are such unsolvable problems…
Could you then please advise me where to store my files online safely. Thanks!

Reference towards the unsolved problems. I cant say there isnt a fix because there might be :) but my experience with things like Encrypted content is like with all other apps Desklock, Steganos, PGP of such i have used all of them and if during encryption / decryption there is a crash then the file can corrupt and due to the algorithems used being par-crpyted its very likely you cant recover it easily.
Hense why I would create an encrypted file and back it up so if a version of an encrypted archive becomes corrupt you can revert to a previos version.
I wouldnt hold frustration towards PowerArchiver as the same thing can happen with any Encrypted Archive.
Reference towards Online Backup sources for me I use LiveDrive they seem to offer the cheapest price unlimited backup storage space for home users with FTP and shared permisions access via a custom web portal.
ie you can setup a folder so friends & family can access authorised pictures, files, etc etc
Obviosly, there are other providers :) but i’ve used most of them and personaly I trust livedrive.

it is not possible to repair corrupted encrypted files because they are encrypted and by nature that makes it impossible.
This is first time i hear of someone’s archive being corrupted during update.
What format did you use, zip pae?
-
what would be better would be to add some sort of protection to encrypted archives like pae so when it updates if there is a computer error it can be recovered

it cant be done, if it is encrypted, it means it is garbled, and when then it corrupts, there is no way to recover the corruption.
instead, i suggest that people shouldn’t encrypt things that are not important. Over the years we have seen people ask us about recovery of things like family pictures and final papers for university…
-
What would be a good feature would be to enbcrypt the file but to not overright the last known good backup instead create a new file and then test the file and if it wortks ok then come up with a dialoge saying do u want to delete last backup of files

I Cant really argue with spwolf on this.
The whole point of encryption is to make it very hard for human’s & computers to make sense of what is within that secured format.
Back when I worked for a government agency as a contracter they encrypted everything on the fly but on the occation the active session got currupt due to any number of regular reasons they rolled the session back by versions to a point of a default unlocked template. Also, there was a testing algorithm before boot to check that the encryption keys were stable.
For me personally, I pay a very small amount a month for unlimited backup’s & upto 30 versions of every file… Meaning I can roll back 30 versions of that particular file before im out of options.
So… what am i trying to say…
Encrypting is a method of scrambling source code so only a valid key can unlock it…
Backing up is a method of backing up a File or Folder and its contents.
The key is to use both methods to secure your data.
Its hard for Powerarchiver to tick both boxes as to encrypt and backup unlocked contents to the same drive isnt safe so PA give the user the option todo both and then move a backup to a wide array of options such as FTP, DVD or system location drive ie NAS drive or USB storage.
So if you are to encrypt a file then test it before deleting the source then if it works without issue back it up onto another drive, FTP, DVD etc etc…
That way you can continue to encrypt on your active session and if something goes wrong you have a backup else where.
-
i agree you cant argue with the pfacts but you can help them by not overrighting last known good archive untill pa has actually checked the new archive is ok.
Basically i would like pa to do a tempory archive and then when it has made sure that archive is ok then overright the old archive.
-
did you use the same or different password for the newly added files?
-
can i restor e corupt archive after extraction?

i allredy fix the problem, thanks

Hi Alexandra,
can you let us know some details?
thanks! -
Many viruses also corrupt the files and even archives. If that is the case then upload the file to virustotal.com which scans the file with all antiviruses avaialble and presents a report.
