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?

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.

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!
SOLVED PA 2019 register type associations everytime.

HI,
Recently i have updated to 2019 version and i found uac prompt everytime when i open any archives regarding file type association regardless i have already associates it many times. so its very cumbersome to press uac promp yes everytime. lots of people have reported this problem and does not solved this problem at your side. i request you to consider this issue seriously and understand what peoples want to told you.
-
PA should work better now and not ask for associations each time, in version .42
https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190042.exeThanks for your help and please let us know if you still experience issues

We have been investigating this issue as it is specific and does not occur for everyone.
Are there any other software installed that could be associating itself with the same files as PowerArchiver?
That might help us in our investigation as we can then test out the specifics.
Sorry for the frustration, we’re looking to fix this asap.Let us know if there is any other software installed on that machine that might associate itself with same files as PA and we will test, that will provide assistance to our dev team in solving it.
Thanks!

I think acdsee may be interface with it but not sure because it supports archives but i have not selected that and also it have not aggressive strategy for association for that formats.

today i updated the power archiver version to 19.00.39 version but my problem is not solved. My temporary problem is solved by this method. Go to option->file formats and check the show associate window if … and restart the power archiver. After restart it shows a message for file association and in that dialogue uncheck all users and check the never ask and most important press no button. After this steps it can not shows uac screen.

thanks @Brian-Gregory
looking into it and just to confirm, after clicking the “do not ask again” box, the association box did not come up again? -

that is super annoying.
Do you have patience to uncheck some of the associations in associate window so we can figure out what association causes it?
thank you!

Thanks very much!
We have implemented the sent reg file which imported your exact settings. Unfortunately, the issue did not reproduce.
Could you tell us what other software you might have installed that handles the same files/archives as does PowerArchiver?
There might be an issue with a specific program that is taking over associations that PowerArchiver might not be handling properly.
Please let us know.Thanks again!
-
Hello,
In order to answer to your question, no other software handling the same files as PowerArchiver.
Interesting point:
If I install PowerArchiver 2018 : everything is fine
If I install PowerArchiver 2019 the problem exists
PS: I have installed the latest version of PowerArchiver 2019.Thank you
Wilfrid -
@wroustan can you please send us this complete key:
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTjust make sure you compress it with .pa format first, so it gets to reasonable size.
That way we check with your own associations and see which one is causing the issue. I tried various ways of associating with both PA 2018 and PA 2019 and couldnt get them to misbehave.
thank you!

How can I download this file? When I try to open the link I get this page:
https://www.powerarchiver.com/test-2019/ -
@Merowinger That’s where you end up when the file doesn’t exist.
I did download that file while it still existed so I can tell that what they have done is delete the original powarc190047.exe and rennamed powarc190047-1.exe as powarc190047.exe.
So if you redownload https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190047.exe you’ll probably get the file you’re after. -
Thank you, now it works! The message is gone.
