The Sep 26, 2023 update to Windows 11 22H2 introduced the ability for File Explorer to extract files from archives of types other than just .zip files. This includes .7z files. However, File Explorer cannot extract contents of the QB64PE .7z distribution. Trying to extract the files results in an error:
"An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.
Error 0x8096002A: No error description is available"
I have tried this with both the 3.8.0 and 3.9.0 distributions.
The workaraound is simple - simply use 7-ZIP.
I'm wondering if there is a known cause for this problem. Is it possible that some advanced compression method is being used that File Explorer simply does not understand?
