For .zip files, what 3rd-party software did you install to handle them?
Peazip, a variant on 7-zip, will take care of the filetype associations
when you install.

In a command shell, what do you see when you run "assoc .zip"?

Windows 11 is getting integration for a larger number of
archive formats, very soon. It will be interesting to see
what a mess that will make.

There's no particular reason for them to back-port that to
Windows 10, but it would likely be dead-easy to do so.

Third party compression and decompression are likely to
remain faster than the "new" feature.
