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.

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!
UAC prompt activating on PA startup

Just posting to say the issue with PA doing something to cause a UAC prompt on my system is still present. I managed to turn secure desktop off with the prompt making it slightly less annoying, but it’s still there. Is there a possibility of sending me some sort of debug build to track this down, if it’s not too difficult/time consuming that is?

we didnt forget about it - did we have thread on forums for it, or just at support system?
thanks

Mostly just the support system, though we have posted back and forth about it on another thread I started in Tech Support about a different issue.

moved it here so it is more noticable…

Has there been any progress on this issue by chance?

I have attached a zip file full of registry exports relating to the class id mentioned in the erroneous UAC dialog, {6BCFB187-C1DD-4807-96AD-F91AB4AB08AC}. The occurrences of this in the registry generally go with PAUAC.DLL and MyPrivilegedObject. I don’t know if this will aid in discovering a solution or not. But since the keys seem to be relevant I will take a stab in the dark and post them.

i will check with the team to see whats up with this… i think this is one of the few things we have reported so far.
-
Great. Just great. I should never have given up on this and tried Peazip. At least I think that is what might have messed me up. That or I deleted something from the registry I shouldn’t have. Peazip is definitely not as good as this program, so I ran it alongside- using Peazip for some things, PA 2011 for other things that didn’t require opening the main PA window. Fed up with Peazip, I uninstalled it and PA 2011 so I could go back to PA 2010 as my sole archiver. Only, now I am having the same problem with PA 2010 as with 2011! What is going on?? Sigh. PA 2010 only prompt once whereas 2011 prompts three times, but even once is more than enough.
I am going to try something and if it doesn’t work it looks like I will have to begrudgingly abandon PA completely until some issue forces me to reinstall Windows 7- that would have to work, but reinstalling to solve this issue would just be crazy. Wonderful program, but this issue has been driving me nuts. Thanks for a good program, sorry you haven’t been able to figure this one out.

we start work on 12.02/.1 next week, so we will be contacting you :-)
-
I look forward to it.
-
I have sent you an email via support ticket from few months back, with debug release, so let us know what happens.
thanks!

Here is the build with the fix:

Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy with work and things the last few days. It does indeed start up now without issues. Thanks for all the work on this, and I expect I will be purchasing the toolbox version, or whatever it is called (I can’t remember), soon now.
PS- ah, I see I wasn’t alone in this- I just saw the new (solved) thread from another user. I had been wondering if it was something I caused. Well, it’s over now, doesn’t matter anymore- thanks again.
Edit: I guess I should ask- will I be able to use this fixed version with the toolbox? I see that the toolbox still shows as the initial 12.00 release. Can I buy it and then install this over it?

Hi, Once you purchase Toolbox edition! which is great by the way! Download the latest available version and enter the serial key, this then unlocks the Toolbox features.
If you have any issues, just ask here or send the conexware team an email.

great… that was first report after yours of something similar… of course there is always possibility of people not reporting it :-).
I am glad we solved it. Thanks for being our customer.
As to the Toolbox, you can use registration key on version you got from us. Thanks!
-
Actually, what I meant about the toolbox is related to this issue. The toolbox is several months old so I was asking if I buy the toolbox, will I be forced to use that old version of PA that will throw up the UAC prompts, or can I use this fixed version instead alongside the other parts of the toolbox? I may not be understanding how the toolbox works so if this sounds like a silly question…

Ah, okay then. Thanks. 8^)
