Windows 10: Rightclicking .zip file opens empty alert error

After a clean install, whenever rightclicking a .zip file, the following alert prompt appears:It only happens with .zip files. .Rar and .7z etc. are fine. After clicking OK, the right click context menu actually appears, but some things like rename have no function / cant be blicked. The process explorer says the source of the error window is the explorer.exe.Removing 7-zip has not solved the issue.How can i find out what is causing this popup and more importantly, how can i fix this?Thanks for any help or input in advance!

7-Zip CRC Error

He is using 7-Zip, not Zip. *Wtf :wtf:

Agreed. Try checking out your SMART logs to see if your drive really is failing. CrystalDiskInfo does a pretty good job reading SMART through USB and RAID on Windows.

cant open zip files without saving first

Please do the following to attempt to repair a Zip file:


Click Start, click All Programs, and click Accessories

Right click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator

Change directories to the folder where the corrupted Zip file is located

Type: "C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip" -yf zipfile.zip


If the corrupted Zip file is split or spanned, use the following command instead:


"C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip" -yfs zipfile.zip


WZZIP will create a new Zip file with a FIXED suffix in the file name. The original Zip file will not be modified. Only the data in the original Zip file is used.


The FIXED Zip file is structurally sound but the data may still be corrupt. WZZIP does not fix the zipped data itself. If the zipped data has a CRC error or the zipped data is corrupt, then the resulting fixed Zip file will still be corrupt.


Useful resources, which might become solutions have more different information than guide above...
