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?

Hello,

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.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?
Thank you for your support in advance!
Cloud: Autorize SkyDrive doesn't work
-
After pressing OK to enable the permissions for PA (Which are a lot, can yo u explain why?)
The form just stays blanco. And none responsive.
-
I guess it took so long to create the filelist.
-
it is hard to understand whats going on :-)
I guess i need to try it out myself.
-
you mean why all the access rules? dunno, thats how it works… it is only your PowerArchiver though, not some web application, but your local PA.
-
so how many files do you have there? was it faster 2nd time? was it non responsive first time? I got nothing inside right now, so i will try to reproduce.
-
Ironically, I was just going to make a post about this.
Skydrive seems from the start go unstable.
The 1st this is the Authorize Dialog hangs once you have logged in and there is now way other that to exit the application via task manager.
Then there seems to be a delay or hang on most of the files and folders.
Attachment Cloud and Dropbox both worked without issue and are quick.
-
Authorize is an IE window that access’s the SkyDrive website… once you authorize it, it saves the token on your computer… but thats all up to SkyDrive I believe… we will see more about it.

Trying to get Google Drive to work. I clicked on it and it took a minute, opened a window, then asked for email and password.
Entered the info, then the screen updated and wanted me to accept the terms, which I did. It takes a few seconds and then it gives an error unable to load the page.

yeah, i just checked, it is all done via Google pages - it doesnt have anything to do with PA itself - it doesnt go to our site, nor anything is stored on our site… it is all done by google.com and whatever the name of skydrive itself is.
Now I wonder if the problems people are having are due to crappy IE, because it is IE that opens up as it is always installed on the system. But there is nothing we can do about that though.
It does seem that IE11 they have in 8.1 I am using is finally usable… 10 was horrible on my computer, didnt want to load anything properly.
-
FYI, my 25GB SkyDrive is almost Full.
-
Second time is just as slow.
-
a lot of files - how many files are there and how long it takes? We can at least make it more responsive… i will upload a lot of small files to mine to test
-
we were able to improve the load times for the file list, lets see by how much.
-
ok, so 15s for .20 vs 28s for .18, for logging/loading filelist Skydrive. So abou 2x faster for newer version.
This is for +1000 files or so… we also added some “progress” messages and little bit more responsive, also fixed total upload progress bar.
It is not perfect yet, but it is better.
-
it takes almost 5 minutes…
-
so it will take 1/2 now, at least :P
we could do caching… we will see… (in the future)
-
well this is already 1/2 :)
-
what version are you trying?
-
.20
-
:-)
-
do you have many sub folders?
maybe we could read only main folder and then later cache rest of them…. but otherwise, it is slow due to Skydrive in general… i just checked their options and nothing really too good that we can do, except to only open root folder.
-
i was testing google drive vs SkyDrive… Google has a lot more options for API. And it is a LOT faster off the bat… it is 3-4 seconds for 1000+ files for me, while 14s for SkyDrive for same amount of files.

Can you not write a time out script so if the screen stays for a period of time it then closes the windows?
The problem isn’t with waiting it’s the fact that your stuck andunable to uuse PowerArchiver until it’s finished.

10.000 files, 351 folders

10 folder and 2 files in root

ok, so this update is live for everyone (.20)… it is also different from your’s guido… but nothing related to SkyDrive or clouds…
