FAQ

Frequently asked questions

File icons still look generic.+

Windows uses the default app’s ProgId for each extension. Open the File icons & default app card on the start screen, then choose WinWinZip for .zip, .7z, .rar, and other formats in Windows Settings.

I don’t see the Windows 11 menu.+

The Windows 11 main menu is supported in the MSIX/Store build. The NSIS installer uses the classic Show more options menu. The current MSIX is an unsigned developer/Store test package.

Can I create RAR, ALZ, or EGG files?+

No. RAR/RAR5, ALZ, and EGG are extraction-only. ZIP and AES-256 ZIP are the only creation formats.

Are there ads, accounts, or payments?+

None. WinWinZip works offline with no ads, accounts, in-app purchases, telemetry, or license server.

Should I download MSI or NSIS?+

Use the NSIS installer for a normal installation. NSIS registers 37 ProgIds, DefaultIcons, and icons. MSI only registers Tauri’s basic file associations (.zip/.cbz/.zipx).
