  1. Windows 10 will not extract zip files; produces an empty folder.


    I'm running Windows 10 pro, and any attempt to extract zip files, results in an empty folder with no files extracted. If I restart my computer, I am able to extract to the same zip files with no issue. The next time I try to unzip it doesn't work and I have to restart again. This issue progressed from attempting to extract files crashing window explorer and I would have to extract a second time for it to work.

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?

    Folders with zip files

    just go to the root folder and do a search for all zip files, then select all and extract where you want.

    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.
