Windows 11 should soon be faster at extracting files from compressed ZIPs – and it’s about time, frankly
- Windows 11 has released a new preview build, improving the performance of extracting files from ZIPs.
- The update focuses on accelerating the unzipping process, especially for large ZIP archives in File Explorer.
- This enhancement aims to address long-standing complaints about sluggish unzipping in Windows 11.
- The performance boost applies only to File Explorer's native unzipping function, not third-party tools like WinRAR.
- In addition to ZIP improvements, build 27818 fixes interface glitches, remote desktop freezing issues, and game launch bugs.
- Microsoft has deprecated a minor feature related to suggesting actions for copied phone numbers or dates.
- Tests indicate up to a 10% speed increase in unzipping large, file-packed ZIPs with the new build.
- While the enhancement is welcome, it focuses on remedying slow performance rather than achieving super-fast unzipping.
- File Explorer's overall lackluster performance in Windows 11 is a broader issue that Microsoft needs to address.
- Given past problems with File Explorer updates, Microsoft faces challenges in improving user perceptions.
