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

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!

Whoa! There’s something funky going on with this build.
Installed fine but after installation It kept on restarting itself and I had dozens of PA starter icons in my notification area.
Had to restart my PC as I can’t stop it doing it. On restart I clicked on PA starter to start PA and the situation repeats itself.

Going to have to uninstall and go back a version.can you send me your .reg of HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverInt\
It seems something with PA starter… can you turn it off completely and start PA by launching via powerarc.exe or pa shortcut?
Thank you!
-
also, can you check the time of your powerarc.exe… it should be 3:38 PM (15:38).
pastarter.exe did not change since May.

PA starter was my suspect, but I couldn’t turn it off or do anything with it, as the PA window was just popping up, off and on, over and over.
Going to install it again but I won’t activate PA starter, see how it goes.
-
Nope! Same problem and now I have the PA window flashing off and on, Just minus all the instances of PA starter in notification area.
-
ok, please send that .reg key so we can check it out with your settings… it is likely something with modern toolbar, are you using it? Since that was updated with new components with support for 4K resolutions. Thanks!
-
also, check time on powerarc.exe, it has to be 15:38… one from earlier did not work correctly, maybe it was left on some CDN server that you downloaded from. Thanks!
-
Gone back to PA16.10.21 and thankfully things are back to normal. Sorry that I couldn’t really do anything about that, as all those windows popping on and off just made it impossible to do anything.
@spwolf said in Fast Ring: PA 2016 16.10.23:

Do you still want it now that I have had to go back to PA16.10.21?

I am indeed.

12:26 According to mine, but as I’ve had to go back to PA16.10.21 I don’t know if that’s right or not.

Yes, please do send it!I suspect that Ivan had to change some part of it for new toolbar and it is causing problems now. It is very annoying :-)
Super happy that you are using it though!

I will see with ivan tomorrow, but he mentioned today in first build that some setting had to be changed due to new toolbar code, it is possible that this is done on first run after install, and when you restore settings it messes it up… so it is good that you are using it this way, and that the issue could surface.

I have removed the link since that restarting thing is very annoying… new version on Tuesday!
-
so due to some changes necessitated by upcoming 2017 release, language settings were left from 2017 portable version… result was that PA kept detecting language, changing it and restarting to apply but it was writing data into wrong registry key, hence infinite loop. Since we had 2017 version installed already, it worked fine internally, because all values were already there.
Simple problem, very annoying issue. New files are being uploaded right now, thanks everyone!
