  1. Windows 10 Zip File Problems


    Not sure what happened, but my .zip files on 10 started acting up. Some of them weren't opening at all, so I tried installing another zip program. It messed with my computer's default settings somehow, and since then if I right clicked on a zip file there would be no extract option.I've tried resetting apps to default, uninstalling that other program I tried to use, setting the default zip program to "windows explorer," even a command prompt command, but nothing seems to be working.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Zip functions

    I am using Windows 10 and trying to create a zip file. I followed the usual steps of selecting a file, right-click, hover on Send To, and then select the Zip option to compress the file. However, there isn't an option for using the Zip function. It is missing.
    I then used File Explorer and found the Zip function on the ribbon, but the function doesn't work. I select the file and click on the Zip icon. Nothing happens, no error message, no file creation, nada.

    Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem would be appreciated...greatly!
