Issue with "Extract All" function when downloaded files are distributed in multiple segments
I have received a downloaded file that is split into several parts, like this:
xx.part1.rar
xx.part2.rar
While attempting to extract the files using the "Extract All" feature, I encounter the following message:
It is clear that the extraction tool should support multi-part downloaded files.
Just to note, I am able to extract the content using 7-Zip as I avoid using WinRar because of its security risks.

The Windows "Extract All" feature isn't designed for multi-part archives. To extract split RAR files, continue using 7-Zip as you currently do. This approach ensures successful extraction without errors.
Windows' built-in "Extract All" function cannot handle multi-part RAR files, but third-party software can.
