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.

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.

@spwolf said in Fast Ring: PA 2016 16.10.23:

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.

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.

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!
