    Windows asks for an app when compressing files windows 11


    Whenever I attempt to compress a file to a zip using the Windows 11 right-click menu it does not work, but if I click more options then send to and zip it works fine. I have tried a lot of times to find a solution but I just can't get it to work, these include: resseing default apps, removing 7-zip, revalidating windows and using dism to try and repair the files. Here are some screenshots.Using Windows 11 quick actions:https://i.imgur.com/MnhJlEh.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/AccIYzH.pngUsing send to:https://i.imgur.com/wSmeKKL.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/baktw5w.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/iYa9VcA.pngPlease h

    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 asks for an app when compressing files windows 11

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
