WIN 11 Problem Opening zip files
Sunday, February 13, 2022 by Sed | Discussion: Windows Discussion
I have Win 11 on my desktop
I click a zip file stored to my desktop . It opens the 15 secs later closes and the screen goes black
and comes right back to desktop! Won't stay open long enough to drag a jpg. image out of it.
ANYONE ELSE with this problem? I won't upgrade my main art PC till I know .

Im running Win11 no zip files issue.
I'm guessing that a video screen capture of a crash (black screen ) would be difficult.

I have 11 on my laptop. Will try right click open but why is it different on my laptop??
Never had to use right click to open before.
I will see if it makes a difference when I get home
I'm on my Desktop at the moment (win 10)

I use both 7zip and winrar, but the built in should work.
this is true but this tip should only be an emergency solution for him as he will surely not be able to fix the error so fast not everyone is a computer freak
