      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?

    • Power Archiver Starter - CPU and power overhead

      PA_Fan

      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?

    • Slow multipart RAR extraction

      A

      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?

    • Action Move - Not Working in Tools - Batch Archive

      G

      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 archives

      My PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .

    • Need to find out how to disable "all users" to end UAC elevation prompt on running PA

      Q

      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.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      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.pdf

      Can 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.

              Hi,

              I have not been using PowerArchiver for a while and decided to use it again. A few comments.

              The various modules i.e. the burner, backup etch, is it possible to run it with the same theme as the main program when you run them individually?

              In the burner, if you make a cd\dvd from an iso image there seems to be no option to verify the disc? Could it be possible to have an option not to eject the disc once it is burnt?

              Thanks

                they should run with the same theme… if they are not, try changing skin to something else and back to desired skin. Mili will comment about verify.

                    The highlighted Options button will bring up an additional options dialog where you can select verify files after burning.

                      I have no options when I select the option to burn a disc from an ISO image, if I do a normal burn then the option is there. Could you also add an option not to eject the disc after burning? I have almost damaged by drive because my previous burning software never ejected the disk.

                        We will check if the option to load tray back after burning can be added to ISO burner as well.

                        Also, if you use the “load disc back on finish” option in regular burner, let us know how it worked out of you.

                          Hi,

                          Another function/ability that is missing from PowerArchiver is the ability to extract a exe driver file, like the Intel Chipset drivers, other programs like 7-zip allow you to extract the contents of the exe so you can then manually install the drivers without running the installer. I cant seem to be able to do this with PowerArchiver.

                            Once an EXE installation is opened in PowerArchiver, PowerArchiver will prompt whether to install it or open it.
                            Post a link to the driver’s you found, we’ll take a look.
