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.

Can not get script to work in Win 7
-
I am trying the latest Free version on a new Win 7 computer and the script file for backups seems like to be working but no file is created. This worked fine on my old Vista computer. I must be missing something simple but can’t figure it out.
-
try running backup as administrator and see if that works
-
I ran PA as Admin, then the script backup file. As before the files scroll through the window showing Compressing through the list of files but the Zip if never created. this is the script file

find pabackup.exe in explorer, right click on it and select always run as admin.
This will run it as admin for sure.
if that doesnt work, try creating simple script that compresses same folder and see if that works.
-
LogFile=C:\Users\Marc\Documents\Backups\Logs%back upscriptname%.txt
If I use Total commander I can fine \Documents but no Backup folder
If I go to My Computer C drive… I do not have a Documents folder but a My Documents folder but no Backup folder under that… maybe that is the problem?
-
yes, you do need to reselect those folders!
-
What a Pain, I got it to work once but can’t get it to work backuping up the folders I want. Win 7 Sucks, and this should not be this hard, it was so easy on my Vista computer.
-
only difference should be location of folders and permissions, nothing else… this is why i suggested recreation of script and seeing if that works.
-
I tried creating 5-6 new script files, still no luck?
-
I just tried 7 zip command line version and made several Zip files using the same files and folders. It appears PA and my Win 7 computer don’t like each other for some reason???
-
Ive just tried creating a backup using your script and it worked like a charm.
Still doing some testing to see what could be up.Just to be clear, there is absolutely no zip archive created in the C:\safe\ folder ?
-
Correct No zip file is created, you can see the Compressing message for each file but the Zip file never gets created. I made sure the Safe folder has full read wirte permissions… still no luck but 7 zip command line works
If I use PA and just compress a few files or a folder to C:\Safe it works… very strange.
-
After Backup finishes, please take a screenshot of the Backup progress screen showing everything that was done. You can either post it here or email it to mili at conexware dot com
-
I figured it out, if I backup (zip) a small folder it works fine but when I select this one folder that has all my emails it does not work. I guess there is a limit of x hundred or thousands of files that can be backup / zipped?
-
Number of files should not really matter.
You were able to zip the exact same folder using PowerArchiver? And same one will not work using backup, right?How many files are in there?
-
Maybe I spoke too soon, this new email program was miminized on the tool bar and I think since the email files were busy PA could not Zip them but it gave no error. I made sure the email program was closed and it appears to be working…… it will take 10 min or so to finish. It it does not work I will let you know but it looks like it is working so far… an error message stating the files are open would be helpful, thanks
-
That must have been the problem, but I would have thought that the zip file would be created for all the other files and just skip the files that were open or locked by Windows.
-
thanks for the update!
you should try using the VSS(Volume Shadow Copy) option which can compress files in use.
You can find it in the “Alerts & VSS” tab in backup. -
Thanks
