About this tag
Decompression on Windows involves extracting files from compressed archives like ZIP or RAR. Common issues include corrupted file names after decompression, especially when the archive was created with a different system locale, and garbled characters for non-English filenames. Users also report BSOD errors when decompressing or installing large files, which may indicate hardware or driver problems. Some users ask about decompressing the Windows registry, though this is not a standard practice. Codec packs for Windows 7 include software to compress and decompress audio and video formats. Mastering decompression is essential for managing file sizes, email attachments, and cloud backups.
