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).

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. -
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.

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.

I created a complete archive of my I:*.* drive, and saved it to network storage. Now, I’m trying to extract the archive back to re-create my I: drive after a reformat. Whenever I try to extract or test the archive, I’m never getting prompted for the password that I entered during creation. As soon as I try to extract or test, I get an error popup: “Error: The password is incorrect.” I know what the correct password should be, but I can’t find a way to get the password into the extraction process.
I can’t get this archive to extract, and I need to get my drive back ASAP. Can someone please help me?

How big is the archive file?
What format is the archive and did you use standard password or PAE encryption (simply the archive filename might help here)?
e.g. if Zip -> did you neable >4GB option?
Is the archive a single file or is it split?
Do you have enough “working space” -> disk free space = at least 2*archive filesize?Which version of PA to create the archive?
Which version of PA to now extract?P.S. which version of windows and which format is the drive (FAT/NTFS etc) may also be helpful to know.

1. The archive filesize is 41.3GB and I used standard password encryption (it’s a .zip file).
2. The archive is a single file. I can seem to browse the file just fine in Power Archiver.
3. 9.25.2 is the version I used for both.
4. Windows XP SP2 and it is a 200GB NTFS drive.I did not select any specific options when creating the archive, other than password protect.
I’ve had a little more time to play with this, and offer the following additional information:
I can browse down to the file level in the archive. When I get to open a file, PowerArchiver asks for my password. I enter it, and it asks me if I want to save it in Password Manager. I choose yes, and the file opens just great.Now, if I go into password manager tab in configuration, the archive is listed on the “Passwords NOT Saved” tab…?? If I try and extract at a folder level I get the same error message of incorrect password.
So, I can browse down to the file, and open the file with a password, but I can’t extract the entire archive.

I did not select any specific options when creating the archive, other than password protect.Oh dear… if you did NOT enable the option “Make large Zip file >4GB” then the zip file is probably corrupt/unusable. This would also cause the “incorrect password” message as you can probably only access the first 4GB of the archive.
You should make a copy of the zip file (so you have a failsafe backup), then try “repair archive” but I doubt you’ll recover everything - this may only “fix” it to the 4GB limit.
Maybe someone else can suggest a way to correct/salvage the 41GB zip archive (may involve hex editing - sorry but I don’t know).
This option for large Zip should/will be default in “next version” but that doesn’t help you now - See also http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=888

Do you have enough “working space” -> disk free space = at least 2*archive filesize?
By the way, this was referring to your working/“temp” drive (C: ? ) and not the target drive I:

:(In fact, the >4GB limit was enabled. I fortunately enabled that switch during the creation of the batch.
OK, so I have definitely identified a bug, here.
I was finally able to copy the zip file to the I: drive. Then I opened up PowerArchiver, and used the right mouse button option to Extract To… and set it to I:. It asked for the password, as I would expect, and I entered it. In about 2.5 hours, I had my zip archive restored.
So, the GUI button for Extract does not work properly with a password-encrypted archive.
