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 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.

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

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!
PA screen position
-
Hi again,
I like to use my Windows XP task bar (the bar with Start button :D ) in the upper part of the screen (like Mac style…).
However, this PA version sometimes starts in the upper part of the screen, behind the task bar!
So, I’m not able to move PA window using the mouse (the right click in PA task bar button does not show a “Move” option). I have to resize task bar to get access to PA and, then, move it down…
It’s quite annoying and I don’t remember last version (8.xx) did that…
I hope there’s a workaround to fix this.
:cool:

I’m still testing PA…
Today, PA went out of screen…
Something is wrong with the way PA saves its position… :confused:
-
I’m wondering if the PA screen position weird behavior is happening just with me… :confused: :(

I think so, never had problems with that.
Maybe you are using 2 screens or there is an virtual desktop function active ?
-
No and no…
The first thing is that I use Windows task bar in the upper part of the screen.
Second, if I download a zip file and press open, PA opens normaly. Then I make a second, third download and each time I press open… PA opens but its screen position change is getting higher and higher… If I resize Windows task bar PA title bar turns visible again…
:confused:
-
I couldn’t reproduce the issue - checked with taskbar on the top on Windows XP.
Can you please run PowerArchiver, and from Options menu choose “Set installation defaults”, then close PA and try using all again?
-
Hi Ivan,
I made what you said but the issue still remains. I also uninstalled PA and then reinstalled with no results…
I changed the Windows XP taskbar to the botton of the screen and then PA position was recorded normally. Everytime I started PA it started at the same screen position.
I placed the Windows XP taskbar to the upper position again and I got the same issue: everytime I started PA it started at a higher screen position…
Then I decided to install version 8.60: it’s working normally, even with the Windows XP taskbar placed at the upper screen position…
:confused:

Hi,
Just noticed this and thought I’d try it. I can reproduce the problem. Try the following: move the Windows XP task bar to the top. Right-click on the task bar, select Properties, and disable AutoHide. This ensures that the task bar is always visible, and that all currently visible icons and application windows are pushed down by the width of the taskbar.
This gives rise to the concept of having different logical and physical screen coordinates. The logical screen coordinates start at the bottom of the task bar (since nothing but the task bar itself can appear above that position), whereas physical screen coordinates start at the top of the screen.
Now start Power Archiver. Notice where it has positioned itself. Without changing that position, do something with it, e.g. view an archive (if you just exit without doing anything, it may not bother saving its last position). Now exit Power Archiver, and start it again. You will notice that its screen position has shifted up a bit. The amount it has shifted is the width of the task bar. It is as if, on exit, it saves its position using logical screen coordinates but, on start up, it restores its position using physical coordinates.
HTH,

Thanks klitos for your great issue analysis!
That’s exactly what is happening!
