Showing 7-Zip when right-clicking on a Zip file
In Windows 10, the 7-Zip option used to appear at the top of the menu when right-clicking on a Zip file. However, in Windows 11, accessing 7-Zip requires selecting "Show more options" to make it visible. Is there a way to address this change?
Using 7-Zip in Windows 10 was convenient because it prevented interruptions such as the prompt "Try again?" when attempting to copy and paste selected files into another folder. It is uncertain whether this issue persists in Windows 11.

In Windows 11, Microsoft introduced a more streamlined context menu, which by default shows fewer options, with additional items hidden under "Show more options." This change affects how third-party context menu entries like 7-Zip appear. Fortunately, there are ways to make 7-Zip appear at the top of the context menu, similar to Windows 10.
