Windows 10: File explorer crashes while trying to extract large zip file

Hi! I have a .zip file that I want to extract. However, when I try to extract the file, File explorer crashes.

However, the file is huge, so that could be the reason.



Here is what it looks like when it crashes



I'm on a 64 bit version of Windows 10, and I have 16GB of RAM.


How do I extract the .zip file without File Explorer cashing? I don't mind how long i takes, as long as it actually works.

:)

 

Windows Explorer crashing due to large files

thats wierd... iv never had a large file crash explorer before....


and i have files ranging upto 80GB...

 

large zip file does not extract properly

Thanks for the suggestions Babu but ........

Tried clean boot - extraction fails

Start up in safe mode - extraction fails

The extraction feature works fine on small zip files but clearly gets severe indigestion when faced with an 11gb zip file. 7 zip works perfectly.

The memory load during windows extraction attempts does not change from base levels, but the hard drive is really working hard. On one occasion after 15 minutes th windows extraction program did attempt to show the extracted files screen with a folder with
the name of the folder being extracted but on clicking that to see any enclosed files it crashes , screen goes black briefly and it resets to the normal windows desktop view.

 

Extracting Zip Files


Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.
