Help me with zipped files please, I cannot extract the files.

Hey guys, I'm trying to extract files from a zipped folder and it's not allowing me to do so. I've looked it up and nothing seems to work so just wondering if anyone has any advice. Windows 11 might be the cause as I only transferred from 10 to 11 a few weeks ago.

Thanks

Hi Max,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1
Right click that zip file and select Properties, is there an 'Unblock' check-box at the bottom of that Properties dialog?

if there is, tick that box and apply that setting

Then try unzipping that file again

2
If that does not solve this, move the zip file to another folder that is not synced by any cloud service like OneDrive, DropBox... etc. and then try extracting the file again.

3
If you still cannot extract that file, right click it, select Properties, please provide a screenshot of that initial tab and then select the Security tab, please provide another screenshot of that tab.
