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. -
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).

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.

UNSOLVED PA 19.00.57 crashes Firefox 69.0.1 in module pashlext64.dll | UserCallWinProcCheckWow

Hi.
While using Firefox it was sometimes crashing without error.
Today it happened again and i decided to look at an error log produced by Mozilla Firefox. I also sent the report to them.
The crash in Firefox seems to be related to PowerArchiver 19.00.57 in module module pashlext64.dll | UserCallWinProcCheckWow
Please see Firefox report below:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/e931f51c-0d3e-4d99-8ec7-ecb440190925
Hopefully this could help you pinpoint the issue.
Thanks a lot! 🙂

Hi, can you confirm if you have seen any more instances of this? and if so what you were doing when it occured?
-
nice to see you @RJWaring :)
Yes, what @RJWaring mentioned, was this a one-time error or a constant error?
To help us reproduce it, is there a specific operation you were doing which created the error.I use Firefox as my browser of choice, with PowerArchiver installed and have not run into it, but we would gladly like to reproduce it.
Thanks!
-
am very sorry but I could not find a predictable pattern up to now.
I know it happens sometimes and not just one time for now.
As soon as it happens again I will try to grab more contextual information and try to send you the info.It generally happens when I try to access the context menu (since then is when the DLL is loaded in memory I guess), but for more than this I will need to dig up.
Thanks for your input
-
I will also wait for Mozilla team to answer, maybe this bug is related to their browser.
The error report in the link was generated by Mozilla.If you have a debug mode for PowerArchiver I will try to enable it and as soon as the problem appears again I can send you the details.
The only pattern I have noticed is that the error appears after some time while Firefox is running and multiple tabs have been opened and closed.

Hi 2Flo,
Can i ask what Operating System you are using? and the build?
You have given a reasonable amount to go off, let me break it down and provide you with some feedback/advice.
- Latest Firefox Release
- Crash occurred when you had multiple tab’s open
- impacted a 64bit Dll (Which is a shell extension handler)
- The issue doesn’t occur all the time.
Answer
You have more than likely suffered the well known “Memory Leakage” issue in Firefox. However, this error is not limited to just Firefox it has been known to occur in IE 11 as well.I have included a link from Firefox that discusses this topic and how to diagnose and fix it in detail so hopefully that may be helpful.
Lastly, its worth considering that it could also be caused by background handlers such as a Anti-Virus that hasn’t processed it quick enough and thus caused a lock to occur , meaning any other application trying to read to it times out and hangs.
To exclude the anti-virus, try adding the DLL or the whole PowerArchiver folder as “Safe” and don’t do active scanning for anything in that folder. - Before you do that, just run a in-depth detailed scan of it 1st to exclude any chance of their actually being a virus etc.
Firefox Memory Issue
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resourcesIt’s also worth checking your Operating System is up to date (sounds daft but it can help with shell extensions and DLLs using windows shell)
Kind Regards,

Thanks we will be keen to hear from you once you have rebuilt your vm.

Hi.
As an update, I see that this module is related to the crash of explorer.exe as well.
Usually happens when I try to use the right click on an item or the “Open Location” feature from Firefox.
This report is all I got at the moment:
-
As I am not sure exactly how I can collect logs and from where, if you can describe the steps for data collection that can help me, it would be very much appreciated (if you need any data to analyze of course).
-
Also, until further notice I will disable PowerArchiver Shell extensions for now.
I would like to help, so if you could provide me with some info, test cases or anything, I can re-enable them to test it only and send you the results.
Otherwise I will keep them disabled to try and prevent explorer.exe from crashing so often.

Would like to be able to reproduce this. Where is this option located? I’ve looked but could not find it. Is it part of an extension?
Let us know a few steps that will help us reproduce and we’ll give it a try. Thanks! -
Hi.
You could try the folder icon inside the Libraries / Downloads window:
The Download arrow icon will appear on the upper right once a file has started to download.
-
Regarding right-clicking, this second scenario can be tested inside Explorer with any file you choose, provided that PowerArchiver shell extension is activated on the system.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience, but i haven’t got too many details that can help me pinpoint the cause of this issue. It appears to happen randomly.
-
If there is any way I could export the error reports somehow in a form of log…
Do you know if it’s possible? hopefully you can find some information in there.
-
@2Flo unfortunately that does not help.
BUT
we will have a new version of dll soon, so you can check with that specifically.
