  3. 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.

    Reply us with the status of the issue in regards with Windows Photo Viewer. Your reply is important to assist you better.

    Regards,

    Guru Kiran

  4. Why is zip file not unzipping?

    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.
