- gertop 1y agoZip support has been in Windows since XP. In 11 (and maybe later 10 updates) they added 7z and rar support.
- OptionOfT 1y agoExcept weirdly enough, when you open a .zip there is an "Extract All" button. When you open a .tar.gz or a .rar that button is gone. For those you need to do right mouse on the .tar.gz or .rar and click "Extract All...". I miss the days when Windows' UI was consistent.
- extraduder_ire 1y agoI don't think windows UI has ever been consistent after the second release. It's just more noticeable on 11/10 because the last four releases each have a very distinct visual style.
- lousken 1y agoit goes much further back than that, think it was xp the issue is that it sucks, it's at least 10x slower than 7 zip, maybe more, showing lots of files/folders freezes the explorer gui on w10 and it only supports .zip (which could've been changed on w11, never used, never tried)
