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.

FTP from shell = high CPU usage

Hello,
I registered on the forum to report a couple of problems I’ve been having with Powerarchiver 2012 Professional.
I am glad to see that the first problem has already been taken care of, namely, the hanging of PASTARTER.EXE introduced with 13.01.03 - fixed in 13.01.04.
The second problem is high CPU usage when using “FTP It…” shell extension. I made a few PA backup scripts which make encrypted 7z archives, copy these archives to two other locations (nice feature), and then FTP these archives to a remote FTP server (another nice feature). All is well, with regard to CPU usage, when PABackup.exe is doing the FTP file transfer, but when I right-click a file and click an FTP profile the CPU usage of POWERARC.EXE doing the file transfer goes way up - maxing out a core if I set process affinity to just one core. I cannot tell you when this problem started since I have not been using this feature for long, and I only noticed this summer due to high revving CPU fan.
Hopefuly this is something that can be fixed in a future release.
Best regards,
iDunk

thanks a lot, we will try to reproduce it and let you know if we have any questions.
Does the actual FTP upload finish?

Yes, the upload always finishes ok. Process Explorer shows a high cycles delta at offset 0x875470, if that is of any help.
System info: Windows 7 Pro, Core i5 750, 8GB RAM, latest NIC driver
Antivirus is Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 (happened also with 2012). I think I can exclude the antivirus/firewall as the culprit since all Conexware programs are in the trusted group and yet pabackup.exe and powerarc.exe behave differenty doing FTP. -
ok, sounds good… we will let you know when our testing goes though it… if we can reproduce it, it will probably be fixed in next release (few weeks).

I was able to reproduce this and have logged it in.
thanks for the detailed report! -

thanks for the detailed report!Hi,
I’m a new user of PowerArchiver and I’m experiencing this too however I’m not activating any extensions - I performed a clean install on two computers, and both frequently go to 50 - 51% CPU usage. Windows 8 on both machines.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

disable pa starter from starting, it is issue that was solved in last release. Ctrl-alt-del and kill pastarter.exe process.
pastarter was not compatible with win8 so we had to rewrite it completely. You can disable its startup in Options> Configuration> PA Queue.

High CPU usage with FTPit still present in 13.03.01 and 13.03.02 :(
-
thank you, we got stuck on 2013 for a while, but now we are good to go.
-
The problem is still present in 14.0.17.0.

Any chance of fixing this in 2013 final?
-
aaaaaa!
will check it out this week, final or no final.

Hi!
Sooo, is there a chance of this ever getting fixed? I just tried with 15.0.35 and the same problem is present, as always. FTP it… shell extension maxes out a core. Shame, such a nice little feature but not really usable for large files, mostly for power issues.
Thanks

I will check with team whats going on here.

I have ample CPU, so it does not create a problem for me.
I can verify CPU usage spikes (goes from 1-2% to 25%).
With FileZilla, it never moves my CPU about 2%.
I think, though, that the problem is more general than FTP. Just compressing a folder from the shell jacks my CPU up to almost 25%.
And . . . Compressing a folder from within the PA main window gets the CPU to 29%! Maybe it is the nature of multi-core compression. Not sure.
-
there was a specific problem with ftp where cpu would spike with no reason.
For ZIP compression, it is best to use all of the cpu :-) -
Yes, compression will do that to a cpu ;) But we are talking about ftp file transfers here. Something which should not task a cpu so much.
-
Tested with the newest RC 2015 and putting on the list for the dev team to check out for the next update.
Thanks for bringing it up :)
