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 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

Ho già contattato il supporto con il modulo presente qui https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ da settimane ma non ho ricevuto riscontro e ora che ho aggiornato alla versione 21.00.15 ho notato che il problema persiste.
Quando clicco PDF Encrypt & Sign nel tab Crittografia appare la schemata riportata sotto come se mancassero le funzionalità.I’ve already contacted support with the form here https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ weeks ago but I haven’t received any feedback and now that I’ve updated to version 21.00.15 I’ve noticed that the problem persists.

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!
Deleting large archives
-
I have noticed I cannot delete large archives, please see the attached.
The file is not open in explorer in any operator-instigated way. All affected files are approx 4.5Gb on an NTFS partition. Smaller files can be deleted without issue. Is this related to (I assume) PA showing the archive contents in the delete dialogue box?
Cheers
DrT
-
Any thoughts on this or any ideas on how I can test if PA is involved?
Currently I have to use an unlocking/deleting facility.
Cheers
DrT
-
this is an iso file, right?
-
Yes. I can delete smaller ISO files even from the same location., but this one is approx 4.5GB. It is an OpenSuSE distro ISO.
The attached is what I see then I try to delete the ISO and a screenshot of an Unlocker screen to show why. PC only turned on 30 mins ago. 100% reproducible.
As usual, happy to run any tests etc to help out.
Regards
DrT
-
great!
-
great!
Does that mean I have found something useful? If that is the case, why are only large ISOs affected?
Regards
DrT
-
Obviously it’s an issue so very helpful… I would guess that iso files over 4gb cause some internal issue in listing code hence the lock… We will know more once Feb team fixes it, but reproducible report is 80% of the work already
-
Okay, thanks.
DrT
-
lets check this out, reporting back with results or questions.
thanks for the details

Created two 4.8+gig ISO files, mounted/unmounted them, extracted them and they deleted fine afterwards.
I’m downloading openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso and trying with that.Let me know if you did anything specific after which this ISO file became undeletable.
Thanks!
-
I am doing nothing to these files. I cannot delete any OpenSuSE distros, I have both 13.2 distos and latest snapshots of Tumbleweed…that’s 4 in total; even after just turning on my computer. Done nothing to them at all. All I have to do is download and try to delete. I don’t know whether it is a size issue, but I could delete a Knoppix distro at 4.1 GB.
The on thing I have noticed, is that before the first delete attempt, which always fails, there are no locking processes. These show up (as per the above screenshot) only after the first failed attempt.
Cheers
DrT
-
Basically, you downloaded this file and then when attempting to delete it it gives you the said error?
I’ve downloaded the same, file and it deleted just fine.
Please run me through the process starting with obtaining the file and deleting it at the end. What exactly goes on in between?
Let me know, I’ll give it a try. -
I can turn on my computer and do nothing and still cannot delete those files without an unlocking utility. I downloaded the files a good week or two ago.
It gets even more spooky. I d/l one of these files to another PC and have exactly the same problem. OS is the same, Win 7 x64.
<smoking gun=“”>Uninstalled PA and rebooted and COULD delete file. Re-installed PA and cannot delete file</smoking> . Saved my settings and reapplied them before trying the second delete (which failed).
I did save my settings before uninstalling - anybody want the reg file for testing?
-
. . . you have preview turned on? Try turning it off (Alt-P) and see if that helps?

I did. Turning it off made no difference.
Cheers
DrT
-
Sorry. I thought it might help. I had some problem deleting files when preview was open in PA mini. I thought it was worth a try.
One other possibility. If you have that file type set to always use Volume Shadow Copy Support, it might keep the file open in explorer.
The last option is there is something about the partition (I assume that is J:?) that is causing the problem.
-
Hi,
See post #13 for some tests that I ran on another computer. Strangely, only my four OpenSuSE ISOs are affected.
In short, I can delete the files without PA installed.
Cheers
DrT
-
hmmm, lets try with your settings. If you can please send them over(in a cab file) to support at conexware dot com and I can try to reproduce that way.
Did you perform an installation of the said ISOs before attempting to delete them or can you reproduce it by just downloading the file and attempting to delete it right away after download?
thanks again!
-
Just download and try and delete - that’s all I did on my test.
Email just sent, subject as per this thread.
Happy to test and fixes or send any further info.Cheers

cool, ISO support has been improved as well… version is fine, thanks!

Sorry to report but the problem is back. Using the latest version.
I am clearing out my Linux ISO folder and the issue has presented itself with the OpenSuSE 13.2 x64 ISO (I’m now using Tumbleweed). The file is locked by 5 explorer.exe processes.
I copied the file to a different computer and got the same problem.
I shall keep the file for testing purposes to check any fixes.

is this the same ISO as before? Since PA did not get update in-between, so what else changed?
-

There was an update and we thought the issue had been fixed, please see messages #23 & 24. It is the same file, viz openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso, the problem exists on two PCs with the same file and same version of PA (the latest). The OS is Win 7 x64 in both cases.
The problem was reproduced by yourselves as per earlier in the thread.
Regards
DrT
Update:- Another ISO is affected - a Tumbleweed ISO. Just moving it to another computer to check if the delete fails there too…it does.
-
Any more news on this issue?
Mni tnx,

i reproduced it and re-opened it in bug tracker… we will see with next update, soon.

Figured it out, archive was wrongly read… now it reads it correctly:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release15/powarc150202.exethere are two image files inside of that ISO file. It should be fine now, check it out! Thanks!

Hi spwolf,
It looks like you got the sucker now. Could you please explain what the issue was?
Thanks, DrTeeth

archive was recognized wrongly, hence the issue with it locking up the file… now this ISO MBR format is recognized properly in preview and it works fine.

Hello, this should be fixed in the latest update. Tested here and confirmed :)
