    Windows 11 ZIP compression doesn't preserve hidden file attributes.


    We have been using the default "Send to → Compressed zipped folder" feature in Windows 10 to compress multiple large files. Some of these files include hidden files, and since third-party tools sometimes fail to preserve those attributes, we relied on the built-in Windows tool. However, after upgrading to Windows 11, we noticed that the resulting ZIP files no longer retain attributes such as hidden file properties.This makes the built-in tool less viable for our purposes. Is this behavior of the ZIP compression feature in Windows 11 intentional a design specification, or could this be a bu

    Change file attribute to 'unhide'

    Hello Walt,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the attribute of any file/folder to unhide.

    Step A: Show Hidden files

    1. Open Windows Explorer(win logo key+E) or My computer.

    2. Now click on View on top of the window.
    3. Untick ‘Hidden items’ in the options.

    Step B: Change file attribute

    1. Once the hidden file is located, right click on the file/folder you want to change the attribute for.

    2. Go to ‘properties’, untick the box facing hidden.

    3. Now, Click on ‘apply’ and then ‘ok’.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank You.

    Windows 11 ZIP compression doesn't preserve hidden file attributes.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
