Windows 10: 7 Zip files

When ever I try to download a 7-Zip file it goes to downloads, good so far. But when I gets there is always ends up being a 7-Zip setup, show in the picture below, this has been going on for the past month and I can't find a fix for it. I deleted and reinstalled countless times. Any idea how to fix this.

Ignore the other stuff it's the Zip setups is all I get when trying to get download zip files

7 Zip or WinRAR?

The only thing that I don't like about 7-Zip is its Windows 95-vintage graphics. Fortunately, there's a solution for that: 7-Zip Theme Manager.

• Toolbar themes - change the look of the toolbar in 7-Zip.
• Filetype themes - change the Windows icons for archive files.
• 90 toolbar themes and 22 filetype themes to choose from.
• Changing the SFX-icon (self-extracting archive) is now possible.

Be sure to grab the 2.1.1. Hotfix to mod any version of 7-Zip from 9.23 to the present release (15.12 as of the time of this post).

7-Zip CRC Error

He is using 7-Zip, not Zip. *Wtf :wtf:

Agreed. Try checking out your SMART logs to see if your drive really is failing. CrystalDiskInfo does a pretty good job reading SMART through USB and RAID on Windows.
