When I select some files, right-click, and select "Compress to Zip file," instead of getting a ZIP file, I'm prompted for a program to open the files. File Explorer is still the default for the .zip extension, and I've run DISM and SFC commands and they've found no errors.
How can I restore this function? I have, and use, 7-Zip, which works, as does "Send to" compressed folder and opening and extracting from ZIP files. But so far, neither AI nor Google have been much help getting "Compress to Zip file" to work, and the solutions suggested on two pages on this site have also not worked.
Thanks!
