Windows 10: Can't make a zip folder the way I want

I want to make a zip file. But whenever I compress the folder I which want to be in zip file format, it doesn't put the contents of the folder in the zip file, it puts the folder itself in the zip file. I don't want the zip file to be like this. What should I do?
