    Adding a pre-existing .ZIP file to another .ZIP file without fully extracting the existing...


    Whenever I try to add an existing .ZIP as a single new content file to a new .ZIP Windows 10 acts like its insists on treating the existing .ZIP a a folder; fully extracting the existing .ZIP and individually adding each member of that .ZIP instead of adding just that one .ZIP file.

    When right-clicking on a Zip file, 'Extract All' option does not exist

    I have the very latest Windows 10 Pro version 2404. When right-clicking on a Zip file, the "Extract All" option does not exist. Why? Did the latest Windows update remove this? I also noticed that in Windows Explorer, when I left-click just once on the
    file, the very top of the title bar shows "extract" highlighted in pink, and below it is the ribbon with "Extract All" greyed-out. The file has a .zip file extension. Any comments, suggestions?
