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).

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.

PA Toolbox/Bitdefender renewal pricing
-
I was just curious if there’s any information ready for what the pricing is expected to be for annual renewal of the Bitdefender that comes with PA Toolbox?
-
currently Toolbox update is $15, includes everything inside Toolbox :-)
-
p.s. you guys can also updated to BD2012 from dl.com right now… your code is valid for all versions as long as you have days left with your license…
new version looks nice too… we will get our partner one in few weeks i would guess.
-

OK , so the renewal price is around $15 per year (“includes everything inside Toolbox”) but it still doesn’t actually say what is in the “ToolBox” . Is that a 1 user license to Bitdefender or a 3 user license to Bitdefender ?
I think that actual info concerning expected renewal prices and what to expect should be easier accessible……
Also I got the message that if you Buy the “toolbox” version then the upgrades for the Box itself is free if one have a version of Power Archiver that includes this so as I understand it then the if I upgrade my Power Archivers to “ToolBox” version then I will also have free “life time” upgrades to the “toolbox itself” and that sounds great - especially if the tools keep improving. Personally I would like the “create ISO image” function to be even better so I could import boot image/part from existing discs and I would also like if it were made as much a full fled ISO image editor as possible - then I do not have to buy a set of them too.
Another thing to do could be to put an advanced compare function into the builtin FTP client so that it for example would only download or upload files that were both of different date (date might change while performing file/disc operations) and different size (than to those compared to) - obviously with the purpose of being able to update/synchronize FTP mirrors in the most advanced way possible… -

1 license of PA 2011 with BD, then you will get 1 license. If you buy 3 licenses, you get 3 licenses.It can not get any cheaper than what it is right now.
If you have some wishes for future versions, do use the wishlist forums - it will get more attention properly there. Thanks! -

Also I am not only offered 1 one user BD license with one PowerArchiver but also 3 user user licence with one Power Archiver and it would be nice to know what the renewal price would be for the perspective offers…Attention in the “Wishlist” ? - one might get that and then well one might not - in the end things are probably controlled by other things than only user wishes and I just tossed the ball up in the air - if anyone noticed and caught it then fine if not then nothing lost.
But mind you with the “business Model” introduced with the joint venture with BitDefender and the development of better tools Packs then things could get very attractive for people especially if you guys get more companies onboard and if the users get the choice to select how big an addon package they want… -

If you decide to purchase 3 license, then it is 3 licenses of PA and 3 licenses of BD :-).
Then number four from top defenitely needs some rework done , because that is presented as if on PA license comes with 3 BD (especially if one have checked out the BitDefender Site and seen that they sell BD with 3 user license !!!) :

ok, we changed that now so there would be less confusion :-)

Hi “SpWolf”
How about another “Lifetime” combo offer from you with this BitDefender ???
-
We would have to price it the same as they do…

OK !, Thanks ! , that seems OK , but I do not know how you distribute the present offer earnings, also however then there is the matter of the possibility of multiple user licenses as you do offer as upgrade……
-
We would have to price it the same as they do…
NEVERMIND and Sorry for the inconvenience !!!
I just read the fine print , so your present combo offer is probably as good or better as the above mentioned (NON)“Lifetime” offer……
Small print :
Lifetime protection key is valid for the computer you first install it on,
for the lifetime of the machine, **not exceeding 5 years***Save up to 70% per year. Calculation for 5 years of PC lifetime.
***Average market value -
:-).
