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.

PA 11.xx and 12.xx crashes Nero Burning ROM
-
I have had a problem for some time now with PA 2010 (any version of 11.xx) and 2011 (any version of 12.xx) where Nero Burning ROM 10 and 11 crash if I have “Use Explorer Shell Extensions” checked in either PA 2010 or PA 2011. If I uncheck this option in PA 2010 or PA 2011 then Nero doesn’t crash. The crash usually occurs when I drag and drop from the source window pane in Nero to the destination window in Nero. Sometimes Nero crashes after I choose DVD boot ROM and then click on the “New” button in Nero to continue. The error message that pops up says “Nero Burning ROM has stopped working…, check for online solution or close the program”.
I have tried and verified this on two different computers using two different operating systems (XP and Win7 x64) and I get the same results. I have also re-imaged my hard drive and installed a minimal system of XP SP3 and then Win7 SP1 x64 to eliminate any other possible programs influencing this crash and even with either OS installed with only the MS updates I still get the crash in Nero 10 and 11 when I use either PA 2010 or PA 2011 without unchecking " Use Explorer Shell Extensions".
However, if I use PA 10.22 then both versions of Nero (10 and 11) work fine. But any version of PA 11.xx or PA 12.xx cause Nero 10 and 11 to crash if I don’t uncheck “Use Explorer Shell Extensions”.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

According to a posting on Nero forums, there is a problem with “shell extensions” (from various utilites)
http://forum.my.nero.com/index.php?showtopic=12061@Nero:
In some cases, if Nero BurningROM crashes while using the file browser, the crash may be caused by installed shell extensions from 3rd parties.
Just try to add files from your Windows Explorer to thecompilation instead of using the Nero File Browser. If this works then most likely such an extension is causing the problem.If that works, then you have a workaround whilst the actual problem is investigated.
if I use PA 10.22 then both versions of Nero (10 and 11) work fine.
That is interesting and may provide PA support with some clues.
Kudos for doing all that checking/testing by the way :cool:

I just tried using the Windows Explorer instead of the Nero File Explorer and I was able to drag and drop. However, there are times when Nero will crash even before I get to the Nero File Browser. Occasionally it crashes when I just select DVD Boot and select “New”. Selecting “New” should bring me to the Nero File Browser but It crashes as soon as I click on the “New” Button. I realize that this still doesn’t rule out third party extension problems. But….
A short time ago I installed Windows 7 SP1 fresh from my ISO. After the installation I just installed Nero Burning ROM 10 and then PA 2011. I didn’t install any other programs, nor did I install any drivers or any MS Updates. So the Windows 7 SP1 installation consisted of Windows 7 SP1 x64, Nero 10 and PA 2011 and nothing else. And when I ran Nero it did crash often. I think should rule out any installed shell extensions from third parties being the potential culprit since there where none installed. ;)
Kudos for doing all that checking/testing by the way
:cool:You’re welcome.
I can easily re-image my system for Windows 7 SP1 x86 or x64 and also for XP x86 (no vista…yuck!). So if you want me to try a particular OS installation for you then let me know what you would like installed and tested and I will do my best. I have Nero 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and PA 10.22, 11.xx, 12.xx. BTW, Nero 6 works fine with PA 2010 and PA 2012 (never crashes). I haven’t tried Nero 7, 8 or 9. Also, the Free version of PA (PowerArchiver 2010 Free 11.63.12) also crashes Nero 10 and 11.
FYI, I just tried the new PA 2012 beta 1 this afternoon and it also crashed Nero 10 if I have “Use Explorer Shell Extensions” checked.
Hope this information helps. :)

If it’s a problem between PowerArchiver shell extensions and Nero, I would expect it to happen with 2012 beta as well, but the clarification is good.
Just to clarify - PowerArchiver would be one of those “3rd parties” that does install shell extensions.
I wasn’t implying that there was yet another utility involved.
Also, I’m not saying that PowerArchiver is at fault here. It could be a problem in Nero that is “found” by ANY utility using “particular” shell extensions - that’s implied by the post from their forum.At least you have two (clumsy) workarounds -
a) use Win file explorer with Nero
b) disable PA shell extensionsUntil a solution is found.
Now it’s up to the PA devs to investigate further.
(look for responses from spwolf, mili or ivan).
The rest of us are customers like you. -
Thanks Terry, I will be watching.

spwolf, I tested pa 2012 beta 3 with Nero 10 and Nero 11. In Nero 10, before I updated it with the latest updates, I was able to create a new compilation and drag and drop files and folders using the Nero file browser much better than with pa 11 and pa 12. Nero 10 still eventually crashed but it was after I opened and dragged numerous files and folders into the new compilation. With pa 11.xx and 12.xx often Nero 10 would crash upon opening Nero 10 and if Nero 10 did open then it would crash after opening just a couple of folders in the Nero file browser.
Now, here comes the interesting part. When I updated Nero 10 to the latest updates then it crashed more frequently. In the numerous times that I opened Nero 10 before the update it never crashed like it does with pa 11.xx and pa 12.xx. However, after the Nero 10 update Nero crashes about one out of every 3 or 4 times you open it. I don’t know if it will help, but my version of Nero 10 before the update is: 10.6.10600, and after the update is: 10.6.10700.
I then uninstalled Nero 10 and installed Nero 11 and Nero 11 crashed about as frequently with pa 2012 beta 3 as it does with pa 11.xx and pa 12.xx.
Once again, when I uncheck “Use Explorer Shell Extensions” in pa 2012 beta 3 Nero 10 and 11 work fine (no crashes).
Hope the information helps.

This issue has been logged in for a bit now.
I’ve reproduced the issue as you’ve mentioned it using Nero11 and PA 2012 Beta 3 and have added it to the logged in report. It will definitely help in locating the problem.Thanks for taking the time to let us know!

Success! I have run three separate compilations using Nero 11 and pa 13 rc1 and I tried my best to get Nero to crash but I could not. So, at this point it seems that rc1 has solved the Nero 11 crash issue when using the Nero file browser.
I have not tried Nero 10 yet with pa 13 rc1 but I will by Monday. I will let you know of the results.
If for some reason Nero 10 or 11 crashes in the future then I will let you know.
A BIG thanks for fixing this! Much appreciated. :D

cool… btw, Nero 11 install has to be the worst thing i have experienced in quite an while :-)

I actually use Nero 10 but I installed the Nero 11 trial version to test pa. I have heard that Nero 11 installation has not been a pleasant experience for some. Nero 10 isn’t much better. I haven’t upgraded since I see no reason to. It seems that Nero is getting worse and worse while pa keeps getting better! :D
BTW, I just installed Nero 10 and updated it and went through some simulated compilations to see if I could get it to crash and I couldn’t. So, it appears that Nero 10 works well with pa 13 rc1 as does Nero 11.
Good job to all! :)

it didnt misbehave, just too much stuff… 350 MB Trial, that installs for loong time. Reminded me of Windows installation :-)

Yea, that is what I was referring to also when I said it is getting worse and worse. I also was referring to it being bloated. That is why I only install Nero Burning ROM and not the multimedia package (though I have a license for it). I should have been more specific.
Again, thanks for fixing pa so that it now works with Nero.
