Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
New version:
PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.00.10:
Download:
https://u.powerarchiver.com/pa2023/powarc220010.exe
New build for some bug fixes and issues - full list to come with new update. Please test and see if you have any issues.
Thanks everyone for your assistance!
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.
PA 22.00.09
344c6c52-f03f-407b-ad76-8130b31936bb-image.png
PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
PowerArchiver Queue made worse
-
Just installed 2021 v20.00.63
Now, when I add to queue, with or without using always use queue.
The powerarc starter opens up in notification bar.
and that’s it, no matter how many files I add to queue, no compression will start.
I also cannot double click or right click the icon.
If i end task for this, and disable queuing, compression works fine, just that I have to manually start individual tasks.
it’s quite ironic that you guys took whole year to fix one issue, in this versions, which completely broke the queuing feature.
Did you guys test it before releasing?
-
tested, working fine in the tests here.
provide details, how are you adding them?
how many files? -
Hi Mili,
Thank You for your Kind and prompt Response to my threat.
Please find Details Here:

:)))))))))))))))

@godlydevils said in PowerArchiver Queue made worse:
https://youtu.be/Dh3qq_j4yi4
It the video when you started PASTARTER you just saw the total CPU usage go up and assumed it was PASTARTER using the CPU. Why didn’t you check?
Also it looked like there was an operation in the queue already so when you started PASTARTER it would have immediately started the operation and therefore used CPU.
I have reported the inability to cancel at least twice before. They don’t do anything about it.
-
I think you did not notice properly, PAStarter was using 2444something KB of ram
no other Powerarchiver process was running.
and compression does not take only 20% of CPU, it takes 100% of CPU(I did not tick low priority compression)
No RAM was being used, actually, compression takes up all the ram that is available
No Temporary Files are created.
No Progress Dialog Box, if compression starts, there’s always a dialog box that shows progress and it comes on topAlso, it’s a bug which you did not refer on another post created by another user where PAStarter is using CPU for no reason.
https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/6287/powerarchiver-starter-2021-high-cpu-usage
For me it’s 20%, for this guy, maybe due to his old PC it’s 100%
And most of all, I want to right click on PAStarter icon and click on Show queue, why can’t I?
Also downloaded from:
https://powerarchiverdl.cachefly.net/2021/powarc200063.exebut the file that got installed is 62, not 63
There are in numerous amount of bugs with the software that I can list, I already have, they just refuse to do anything about it.
-
It’s not that they refuse to do anything about it, if they cannot replicate the issue on their end, they cannot debug and fix the issue.
-
I have same problem with PAStarter:
- PAStarter takes 16~17% CPU usage when is running.
- Can’t click, right click or double click on PAStarter icon in systray.
- In Windows Explorer:
3.1. Try to compres a folder/file: i clicked with right mouse button on that folder/file and select PowerArchiver / Compress to “abc.zip” but nothing happened.
3.2. Try to extract file: i clicked with right mouse button on that file and select PowerArchiver / extract to “abc” folder. Folder abc is created, but no files extracted.
-
In Order to replicate the issue, you need to know how to use the product.
This lady here stated that she could not replicate the queue issue prior to this where some of the archives were unprocessed and ignored, how come they fixed it now?
it was common and happening with everyone, I even did clean install of OS and App directly from 2021 final, still was facing this issue.
And okay, Why can I still not save the exe, pdf PNG filter and dictionary size tickmark under advanced when using PA as format, in any profile?
Why can I not remove the default profile and make a new profile as default?
Why can I not use Advanced option for PA compression under multi archive compression?
It’s all in plain sight, there’s no difficulty in replicating the issue
-
I resolved the issue.
How to reproduce(it is my assumption):
Install the older version of PA 2021 than this, the one that came before x.x.62
run it once, then install the current version.PA queue & PASTARTER will get bugged.
I got the issue resolved as I had to reinstall OS which has resolved the queue issue for me.
this is the same reason mili was not able to replicate the issue, because she runs a fresh environment for all testing.
