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.

Wasn’t there an option in the “general” section of the “misc.” tab where the user could set the maximum number of Virtual Drives?
If so, I do not see it any more.
Am I mistaken about where it is located?
If so, I apologize in advance.
-

There sure was or should I say ‘is’.
It’s there on mine anyway, don’t know why it’s not showing for you though. :confused:
I presume we are both using version 15.01.03.
-
confirmed…tis showing on mine also. (v.15.01.03)
Windows 8.1 x64 -
That is exactly where I thought it was. As you can see, it is not there.
Maybe my screen settings are different and it is cutting it off?
-
My screen settings are at 100%.
as you can see the space where I thought it was. It just isn’t showing.
I may try an uninstall and reinstall.
-

Can’t see that being the issue then, it’s a mystery.
Maybe a fresh install would be the way to go. An inconvenience I know, but sometimes it’s the best thing to try.
At least you know you weren’t imagining things and that it should definitely be there. ;) -
Fresh install did not help. Still not there. Had been until this update.
-

Guess this one is for Mili then. :)

Hmm, I’ve checked on 2 machines and I have the same issue as Socrates. No Number of Virtual Drives option.
Luxor, are you sure you’re using 15.01.03?
If so, please send over your reg settings(Cabbed) to mili at conexware dot com and we’ll take a look.
Nice mystery we have here :) -
Twice in two days I’ve discovered I am not a techno-ditz!
-
Many bugs were found and fixed with your help, Socrates!
Keep em comin :D -
-
Thanks Luxor! Can’t reproduce it yet. Really weird
Moving now to another machine with a different OS to check there to see if it makes a differencewill report back with findings
-
Thanks. At this point I am just curious.
-
Thanks Luxor! Can’t reproduce it yet. Really weird
Both Moles and myself have the Virtual Drives option there, so definitely weird indeed.
-
To add to the mystery. It doesn’t show on my laptop running 7 (64) either.
My guess: the height of the dialogue window just has to be slightly increased. I can see a space where it is supposed to go. Just enough space for it to show.
-
TO confirm i too have virtual drives on my
Windows 7 system at work BUT not on one of my Windows 7 system’s at home?! both are laptopson another system windows 7 PC Based it does show, I cant remote my Windows 8 systems just yet so will try and verify later.
If you want a system snapshot of my specs etc let me know.
-
Thanks Rich! Please do let us know what you find and if it appears on the W8 machine.
:) -
excellent catch guys, excellent!
-
Appears on a clean install of Windows 8.1 64 Bit.
-
. . . for I tried a a clean install, and it didn’t appear (also 8.1 - 64)
I suspect changing the height of that dialogue window, even by 10 pixels, would solve the problem.
-
Still no VD option in the newest PA (just posted) on a Window 7 x32 machine.
-
this has been improved now:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release15/powarc150106.exe -
Fixed on this laptop. I suspect it is fixed on all.
-
yes, it was a good catch… PA checked for pavd2013.exe to show this option… so if you had old PA installed and then PA 2015, it would work fine… only on clean systems it would not show, which is why we or nobody else caught it before.

I don’t know how you all do it. There are so many ways well-designed software can go wrong. As users we forget that it is not just the integrity of one piece of software, but how well it plays with everything else on every user’s machine.
