How to fix?

The "fix", as stated above a few times, is to use a third-party program, such as 7-Zip, Bandizip, WinRAR, etc.

    Weird, when I downloaded it, it said I was on a free trial and that I’d have to pay to use it. I’ll try again and see what happens.

    I have tried Winrar and 7zip but both require paying and I don't have the money for it.

    7-Zip is free. Also free and very good is BandiZip. Either of those should resolve the issue until Microsoft improves the built-in zip features. Did 7-Zip work for you when you tried it? Why did you think it was a pay program?

    This is not the answer tho. Microsoft need to get their act together and solve it at their end and release an update that solves this issue. I too have just encountered it but I don't want to having to download third-party software to fix issues Microsoft is too lazy to fix themselves. It happens way too often.
