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. -
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).

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.

Issue with virtual drive
-
I’m running the PA 2012 beta with the virtual drive.
I can mount and access the ISO files without issue, but there is an issue when I go to unmount or remove the virtual drive.The initial attempt says everything succeeded, but then I get a message from Windows that it was unable to remove the device and the drive remains mounted.
Running Windows 7 SP1 x64.

Bookwyrm,
Thank you, for your post.
Can you verify that you have downloaded Beta 2 (12.00.18)
I can clarify that this is a known issue the alpha team and developers have been discusing.
You should be able to Unmount the drive by right clicking on PAStarter and Selecting “Unmount & Remove Device…”
Try and ensure the “My Computer” Window is closed to ensure this unmounts the device.
It seems that when the user is in “My Computer” it goes through the process of unmounting but something is locking PoweArchiver’s Driver from doing it. But when the user removes the drive using other dismount options in PA’s program it works.
My view on this is the 1st port of call for a user would be to right click on a device and dismount it. Although, there are other ways this shouldnt mean we should give up and find a fix. :)

did you by any chance download and install beta 1 first?

I have always occasionally had this problem too with successive versions of PA. But if I did, I just went to the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon in the system try, clicked on the VD I wanted to remove, and that solved the problem. Always seemed, at most, like a minor glitch, one with an easy workaround. Besides, I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that it was just something else going on somewhere in my system.

there was an bug in b1 that made it impossible to unmount VD, it was fixed in b2 however it involves that user uninstalls the driver and reboots before installing new one. Which is why i asked if he used b1.

I did indeed use B1 and upgrade to B2. I’ll do the uninstall of the virtual drive and reboot/reinstall and see what I get.

Unfortunately the uninstall/reboot/reinstall did not seem to resolve the issue. :(

did you uninstall PowerArchiver Startport drivers, reboot and then downloaded and installed latest drivers? It has to work :-)
-

I did the uninstall via Programs & Features control panel and rebooted.
The install of the latest drivers, I just opened PowerArchiver and selected Virtual Drive and let it install them. According to PatchBeam the virtual drive is version 1.05.02
-
but you uninstalled the drivers right? Since uninstalling PA wont do anything.
Patchbeam just shows virtual drive version, not actual driver version.

The app I uninstalled via Control Panel was “StarPort Drivers for PowerArchiver Virtual Drive Emulator”, I assume that’s the right one?
The controller I see in Device Manager is ‘StarPort Storage Controller (Lite)’. The drive is StarPortLite.sys with version 3.5 Build 20080111
-
that should work… how are you unmounting? Did you try via shell or any other way?

I did the unmount via the PowerArchiver gui; selected the Virtual Drive from the ribbon and selected unmount.
Is there a different way to try?
-
lets try this,
Uninstall Starport drivers
reboot computer
download and install this driver;

why I can not install any games with PA 2012 Toolbox?Is there any solution for this?
-
Vinko,
What sorts of issues are you having which make it seems like there is something wrong with PA VD?
Personally, I’ve installed some programs/games using PowerArchiver’s VD and it worked fine. Of course, that does not mean it has to work fine for you.Please let us know some details and we’ll do our best to help.
-
I want to install the game. I choose .iso image, right click, mount VD and then wait VD and nothing happens….
-
Vinko,
Please try the following;
Open PowerArchiver
Go to the Burner menu
Click on the Virtual Drive button
You should be asked whether to install drivers, click Yes.
Once they are installed, go back to the same Virtual Drive button and click it, you should get PA 2012 VD working then and the right click option should also work as well.Let me know if that worked.
Thanks
-
no luck …. now I have a computer crashes every time when PA VD wants to install software…
how sorry I am that I bought a license for PA 2012 Toolbox -
I also tried with daemon tools and Alcohol 120% and even with these softwares I could not install the game and office… what could be the cause of my problem?
-
Are you running PA with administrator privileges? If not, the installation may not work.
Or perhaps you are not running the setup on your VD with administrator privileges.
Since this is not a problem I have ever heard mention, I am betting that it is a problem with a setting like those mentioned above, or some other clash on your system.
-
Hi Vinko,
Were you able to install the VD drivers properly?
If not, here is the direct link to them;
http://dl.patchbeam.com/conexware/pavdint2012/files/pastarport15003int.exeIf you have, then what errors are you getting when trying to use the VD.
Also, please do try running PA as admin as noted by Socrates and see if that helps.
-
re-install Windows 7 was the only solution …. PA 2012 Toolbox is now working very well…
-
Glad it was fixed. But what a time-consuming solution. Sorry.
-
Glad it works Vinko!!
-
I’d be lost without my virtual drive…:)
-
who knows, probably some driver messed up all the virtual drives as you tried them all…. I will be closing this thread so if something else comes up, open new one… thanks.
