Windows 10: Compressed zipped folders error

Every time I start my computer, I get a box pop up with "Compressed zipped folders error".

I can't work out why as it is on startup so I haven't tried to open or compress any files.

:)

 

Compressed (zipped) folder error

This error message pops up when I try to zip a file:

Compressed (zipped) folder error

Unable to complete operation

Access denied

I have tried the two methods suggested on this forum and it still doesn't work. it has worked previously not sure how that changed

 

Compressed (zipped) folder error

Dear PF,

Does this happen with all the files or just one file.

If it happens with all then the zipper has gone bad.

Also you did not mention whether you are using the default windows zip or any other software.

Can you please let me know that?

 

Unable to Unzip compressed folders. Error: ‘The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted’

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• Which tool are you using to unzip the files?
  
• Did you try to unzip the files on a different computer?
  
• Does this happen only with a particular zip file?
  
• Have you tested with zip files (or other files) of smaller sizes?
  

There are several reasons which can cause this issue, here are a few of them.

• If the compressed files are infected.
  
• The slow download rate and poor internet connection can corrupt the download.
  
• If there is a problem with the tool used to zip/unzip the files.
  
• The downloaded file is originally corrupted.
  
  Try with unzipping a different compressed file/folder (of smaller size) and see if it works.
  

Re-download the folder to ensure that the folder downloaded earlier is not corrupted.

If it does not work, try with unzipping the folder on a different machine.

If the issue persists, try with a different tool to unzip the files.

Hope it helps
