Unable to unzip pictures to windows photo viewer

Hi Carol,

you might face such issues if the file is zipped.

I suggest you to unzip the file and check.

To do so follow the steps below.

Open File Explorer and find the zipped folder.

• To unzip the entire folder, right-click (or press and hold) it, select
  Extract All, then follow the instructions.
• To unzip a single file or folder, double-click the zipped folder to open it. Then, drag or copy the item from the zipped folder to a new location.

How to Zip and Unzip with Windows 10?

I was unable to unzip a ".zip" file. I got stuck on step #2 -- upon double-clicking on the".zip" file, I get an error message saying "Application not found", and thus I never even reach steps 3 or 4.

So, my main question is: Does that mean that unzipping requires some software that doesn't automatically come with Windows 10? In other words, do I need to explicitly need to find, download, and install some external software -- on order to unzip a ".zip"
file?

I'd greatly appreciate a reply. Thanks.

Dan.

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
