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.

SOLVED Taskbar Progress Bar

Hello
Most of the times Taskbar Progress bar does not show while extracting or compressing
-
@shahin thanks for your report… seems like it works here on our test computer. Might be somehow related to some setting - can you export your settings via Options menu please and send them to the support at conexware dot com? That way we can test with same settings.
Thank you!
-
@spwolf
you’re WelcomeDone
-
@shahin thanks - with your settings, it does not work here either, so easily reproduced!
-
@spwolf
what’s wrong with my settings? -
@shahin there is nothing wrong with them, something is causing the issue, i wrote in the report and dev team will take a look and hopefully fix. Thanks!
-
Thank You
-
I’ve found some news about this issue
If Run Powerarchiver as administrator once, taskbar Progress bar won’t work anymore.
If I extract an archive directly from explorer taskbar progress bar works.
If I Open an archive with PowerArchiver and then extract it, Taskbar Progress bar won’t work.
I hope it can help you

What file are you trying to compress, extension? That will let us know what codex it is using.
And do you get error message?
-
@spwolf
A folder that contains JPG files, No errors, Just a 0 byte PA file creates -
@Shahin can you try just a single jpeg and see if that works at extreme?
-
@spwolf
a single JPG Compressed with extreme settings
something’s strange, previously folder that failed to be compressed, now compressed successfully -
If you happen to come across a JPG that gives the 0kb file, please send it to us at support at conexware dot com, if possible and we’ll try reproducing it here as well so that we can log it in for fixing.
Thanks!

Please try those JPGs again with version .28
Any better?Thanks!

where can I find version .28?

it only works in classic toolbar, you cant select buttons in ribbon/modern toolbar like that. Thanks!

every time opening PowerArchiver a folder named “PowerArchiver 2018 (64-bit) (Unregistered)” is created in “C:\Users*\AppData\Roaming”. what’s this?

@shahin
Just deleted mine and it hasn’t come back.
I think it’s something to do with the Ribbon toolbar, stick with the Classic Skins for now -

I think it’s something to do with the Ribbon toolbar, stick with the Classic Skins for nowwe use Microsoft SDK for Ribbon interface, it creates a temp folder with its settings required to initialize the interface. It is the way it works.
It is much faster than previous custom modern toolbar, so it is overall much better.

@Shahin if there is some other issue, lets open up new thread for it… closing this one. Thanks!
