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

Ho già contattato il supporto con il modulo presente qui https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ da settimane ma non ho ricevuto riscontro e ora che ho aggiornato alla versione 21.00.15 ho notato che il problema persiste.
Quando clicco PDF Encrypt & Sign nel tab Crittografia appare la schemata riportata sotto come se mancassero le funzionalità.I’ve already contacted support with the form here https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ weeks ago but I haven’t received any feedback and now that I’ve updated to version 21.00.15 I’ve noticed that the problem persists.
When I click on PDF Encrypt & Sign in the Encryption tab the schematic below appears as if the functionality is missing.de9b4a2d-07e7-4323-a5a3-1b91e73dafc0-image.png

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!

Installing 17.01.06 enabled PowerArchiver Queue when it should have left it disabled as I had it before.
Later: In fact every time I reboot I now find PA Queue is re-enabled. :-(
-
Thanks @Brian-Gregory
It enables queue when starter is selected to start at reboot, even though queue has been disabled.

Is there any way I can tell PowerArchiver that when using the .PA format I want it to treat certain file extensions as if they were some other file extension? For instance, I want it to treat .EML, .68H and .ASM as if they were .TXT.

Why when restoring settings from the cloud does 17.01.06 fail to restore very much as all.
I made the mistake of trying 18.00.11 which I view as being as good as unusable since it always prompts with a nag screen.
The when I reinstalled 17.01.06 I had no effective way to get my settings back from your cloud.
Maybe some of them are restored but most are not. Even obvious things like the window position, size and columns on the screen are just not restored. That could only have been missed if absolutely zero testing was done.
I don’t understand why you’re even working on a version 18 when version 17 is still so unfinished.

@brian-gregory we can add them as default, otherwise you cant do it manually now… are they text files always?
-
@brian-gregory nothing computer specific is saved on purpose, since it might not work at all at different resolution. IE if you have one computer with 4k screen, it would render PA at 1080p screen unusable. We actually saved everything before, but user reports from similar problems made us scale back whats saved.
So if you want 1:1 save, export reg settings and save it.
If there is something else that you want saved, let us know. Thanks!

Most often but not always text files. You could add EML (emails in mime format) and ASM (assembler source files) but 68H is very specific to me.
How do I do it manually? Is it the preview settings?

It seemed like nothing worth mentioning was saved.
Or maybe everything that was saved was things I leave as the default.Can’t you save it all and check when restoring for different screen resolution etc that means some of it isn’t applicable.
Do you save everything and strip it out when restoring?
That would be better than nothing because I could just manually restore by double-clicking the file. -
Ahem. -----

@brian-gregory i have to move it to separate post and check it out

@spwolf I meant:

and
Do you save everything and strip it out [what might cause trouble] when restoring?

So you’re just NEVER going to tell me how to do it???

If you use Options> Export to local file, it seems like everything gets saved.
Can you tell me what settings did not get restored for you via Cloud?
