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.

Another issue with virtual drive
-
I can reproduce this.
I have not used virtual drive for a while. I mount an ISO…NO drive letter appears. I mount a second ISO, no drive letter appears. The ISOs cannot be deleted so something is happening. When I mount a third ISO, I get a BSOD. I mount by right-clicking an ISO and selecting 'Mount as Virtual Drive…@
I am writing this from Linux as my Win7 x64 PC reboots for the 6th time with this issue. I casn test it on other OSs on other PCs if needed.
Please just ask for any further info. I go through phases of using this feature and am lost without it.
Using the latest version of PA 2012 and the Starport drivers - I check for updates quite frequently.
Please advise.
Regards
DrTeeth
Update: Uninstalled the Starport drivers and reinstalled via PA with no change (2 no drive letters and 3rd one gives BSOD). Until I get advice for troubleshooting, I will uninstall and have to use another software solution for virtual drives.
-
did something change in your system? It seems as if something is blocking virtual drive drivers or something like that… actual drivers have not changed in years.
-
Hi,
I am not aware of anything that has changed. I have another x64 bit Windows OS on this main PC, that is running the same system drivers etc and The Virtual Drive works perfectly. I assume that that rules out anything ‘low level’?
I thought I had found the conflict, but further investigation revealed that I had not. The virtual drive worked immediately after the driver install.
I can mount an ISO, but no drive letter appears. I can TRY to unmount an ISO, but, in spite of a message saying that the drive has been unmounted, it still appears as mounted in the unmount dialogue. The presence of the mounted ISOs stops a reboot. I’m completely stuck now.

-
Just to confirm,
It works fine on one system but it does not on another one? -
Yes, it also works fine on the same system in another 64 bit Windows setup (Vista SP2) using the same drivers as the Win 7 x64 setup (I multi boot my main PC). I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the PA and SPTD drivers several times without any change.
They have always worked flawlessly for me before.
DrT
-
it is obviously something that has caused this, some other driver or something similar… i need to check how to actually uninstall the driver properly (aka clean installation)… Remind me if I dont post anything in few days :-)
-
Will do spwolf.
Thanks

Reminder for spwolf for manual driver uninstall instructions as requested. Thanks in advance, DrT

Could you please post the manual uninstall instructions for the virtual device drivers that you mentioned?
Thanks again,

i am on vacation until Sunday :-)
I tried to quickly figure it out but didnt help….

I thought you were a bit quiet ;-). Sorry to hassle you on holiday, but I had known I would have stayed schtum.
Though the issue is very annoying (as PA’s virtual drive works the best out of all the others I have tried as a replacement) I do have a working replacement, though don’t like it. At least I can wait for the manual uninstall.

Device Manager> Storage Controllers> Starport Storage Controller… uninstall it and then reboot… then install pavd again and see if that helps?

Hi,
Device Manager> Storage Controllers> Starport Storage Controller… uninstall it and then reboot… then install pavd again and see if that helps?
That was the first (and second and third and…) thing I tried and it does not help at all.

unfortunately it seems that something else in your Windows installation is blocking it as it works on the same computer but different Windows installation.
Is it too much work to reinstall Win?
-
Reinstalling is not an option as a) it would be a massive undertaking, but more importantly, b) I would very likely install the software that is conflicting as I would not know which was the guilty party.
I am more than happy and able to modify the registry or anything else that could fix this if you have any ideas.
What sort of things could conflict? All chipset drivers are the same version across all versions of Windows on this machine.

Can you try and (“Repair”) windows via the recovery disk?
That way your not going down a route of formating and installing from scratch. It could be anything from Driver’s, Corrupt Windows Components such as Registry issues.Windows Repair might help, if it doesnt then even i would suggest a rebuild.
An Odd one indeed!
-
Thanks for your input Sir.
The problem is that although I really like the PA implementation of virtual drives, that is the ONLY issue I have with my current setup. Also, all other virtual drive software that I have tried as replacements work flawlessly - the only common denominator is that they have drive letters pre-allocated…they appear as empty CD/DVD drives.
The issue could be down to some installed software, which I would unknowingly reinstall.
TBH, as much as I do not like computers to ‘win’, trying to fix this one by way of repairs and rebuilds just is not worth it.
Like last night - installed Fedora 17 - used to work well when first released, then had issues with some updates not taking. Tried again (last night) after a couple of months and after 2 hours of installing and updating, the sod would not boot up correctly (it did initially, but not after all the updates). problems with the free source nouveau nVidia driver. Not worth the hassle to fix either - I have 4 other Linux distros installed and OpenSuSE 12.2 is out in 5 days.
I will be happy to test any fixes that the team can come up with if this is found to be fixable.
Regards
DrT

did you try using System Restore to the time when you think it all worked? I think it makes new restore point automatically, but you can make sure it does…
-
The issue is with the automatic issue of drive letters. I found another piece of software that worked similarly to PAs and also used StarPort drivers. I have updated these drivers via windows device manager without any difference. Anybody have any ideas where the upper and lower filter keys for the PA virtual drive are in the registry or even what the drive is called (Rocket, StarPort, PowerArchiver, SPTD)? Restore points will not help, old ones gone as many installs and uninstalls have written new ones.
