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.

What virus scanner do you use in connection with PA?

What virus scanner do you use in connection with PA?
Currently I use AVG
-
try avast its the best one on the market and i s free
-
I use Nod32 latest version…
it’s rated THE best out there…
but each to his/her own I reckon…
works superb for me.Mike.
-
Kaspersky Internet Security
I use it and strongly recommend to everyone. It is the most powerful security solution.
-
What virus scanner do you use in connection with PA?
As nobody else has asked -
Do you mean under “Options / Configuration / Virus Scanner” ?
This may be interesting/informative in case of system problems/crashes - if so, my answer is “none” / “Blank”If you are simply asking which Anti Virus program I use, then “antiVir Guard for Windows XP” and “TrendMicro”… 2 pc’s. But then I don’t understand why/what you are asking??
but each to his/her own I reckon…
Exactly.
-
I have McAfee set up to scan from within PA.
-
I use AVG on one computer and EZ-Anti-virus on the other.
-
this program works well wityh powerarchiver and does not cause it problems like some i’vew heard of and it gives you a free version avast
-
Eset Nod32
-
I’ve started using Windows LIVE on a couple of my computers.
-
Zonealarm (which uses Kaspersky’s engine) last time I checked. And also Avast! Profesional.
Both insync on my Powerfull systems. Where ZoneAlarm on my Laptops and low end systems.
Lost faith in McAfee and Norton, as well as panda who all let virus on my system.
-
I use ClamWin Free Antivirus it’s a Open Source Antivirus for Windows…:D
-
I use McAfee it’s good

The latest version of ESET will bring PA to a crawl when extracting large archives. I’ve addressed the problem with the developers but they seem inept in fixing it. Currently using Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 beta. It’s a vast improvement compared to v7.

we use f-prot in the office… good and fast, you dont notice it running at all…

I use ESET NOD32 and quite frequently archive and unarchive large files ranging from 1gb to 8gb, and I haven’t noticed any problems with the speed on my machine.
perhaps the slow down you notice is due to the effectiveness of NOD32 at stopping potential threats to your system. ESET is #1 for a reason
better safe than sorry!

Usher,
These diagrams are linked to eset website. You can find similar on many other av vendors websites and they will show different results.I use ESET NOD32 and quite frequently archive and unarchive large files ranging from 1gb to 8gb, and I haven’t noticed any problems with the speed on my machine.
It is because nod32 doesn’t scan files in large compressed files.

you can ensure absolute computer protection if you disconnect it from all networks and prohibit using removable media. -

are you kidding…
do we really need to argue about bar graphs and pie charts?also, ESET NOD32 lists Kaspersky on it’s website along with the competitor comparisons, but on Kaspersky’s website, it leaves out ESET NOD32. Surely not because it is a threat? :(

i’m using AVG but i’m planning to try kapersky.
