About this tag
The zip function in Windows 10 allows users to compress files by right-clicking and selecting 'Send to compressed (zipped) folder'. A common issue occurs when this function becomes unresponsive for specific files, such as Excel spreadsheets, while working normally for others. Renaming a file to include a case number may trigger this problem, possibly due to filename length or special characters. Troubleshooting steps include checking file name length, ensuring the file is not corrupted, and resetting the file association for zip archives.
