For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

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?
Difference between "Pro Legacy" and "Pro" without BitDefender?

Is there a difference between the following two license types:
- PowerArchiver 2011 Pro International Legacy
- PowerArchiver 2011 Pro - Personal - International
I ask because I have a license for the first and there’s an offer for an upgrade to the second in my account’s ‘Orders’ page. But I’m not clear if there would be any difference in functionality between the two licenses.
-
First one is better (it is full PA version)… keep in mind that our system is not smart when it comes to figuring out if you already upgraded.
but hey, we appreciate you looking into it :-)

2011 Pro Legacy = Toolbox without BD
2011 Pro = Pa Standard + Backup + PAOP + PACL (no Burner, FTP, VD) -
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

2011 Pro Legacy = Toolbox without BD
2011 Pro = Pa Standard + Backup + PAOP + PACL (no Burner, FTP, VD)without confusing the matter, my memory recalls you saying on a thread that Toolbox users would get additional benifits that Pro/Pro Legacy wouldnot like additional format support, and maybe more advanced features.
This at the time made perfect sense… why else call something toolbox if it didnt contain usefull “tools”??

@Sir:

Well Pro Legacy is PA 2010 and PA 2009 Pro version, which we advertised as ultimate PA.
So I dont want us charging same users twice for the same features. Hence, PA 2009 Pro and PA 2010 Pro getting Toolbox features, without BD.
We didnt split Pro into Pro and Toolbox to charge same people twice, it was simply due to the feedback from our large users (which are majority of our sales btw), that said something like: “we want some of the extra features of Pro, but our bosses dont want us to buy Burner or FTP when we already have them”.
So we split them into 2 versions - Pro, tailored for Business users, and Toolbox tailored for home users.
Now if Toolbox gets some extra tools in the future, thats something else. But I think it would be unfair to PA 2010 Pro users to charge them again for updates to Burner and FTP, when year before we told them they get unlimited updates.
I already told you that Toolbox users will get some extra stuff in the future, because they are the ones supporting us the most - we have people that purchased PA several times just to support development and show appreciation…

I think it’s just confusing because of the year adaptation for professional.
It makes sense now you put it like that. Basically powerarchiver pro is perfect for home andbusinesses who want the best but without external elements that they may have already. And toolbox is for home users who want the best powerarchiver with additional features such as antivirus and firewall!?
Personally i would carry on buying the most advanced tool powerarchiver can offer even if I don’t use al its features. Why? That’s my way of supporting the development, including my continued support within forums.
If you have other methods I could support conexware et me know, I will do my best to help.
