Right click on Zip file should show 7-Zip
In Win 10 when I Right click on a Zip file it shows at the top of the menu. In Win 11 I have to select Show more options to see 7-zip. Can this be fixed?
7-Zip was handy in Win 10 because sometimes just selecting the files and copying them and pasting into the other folder would pause and say "Try again?" Maybe i doesn't do this in Win 11
Sorry I have no better solution:
I would recommend to switch to Nanazip, which has support for the new context menu in Win 11.
It is forked from 7zip source code and does essentially the same.

1. Check 7-Zip installation: Open Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Check if 7-Zip is installed.
If not, download and install 7-Zip.
2. Configure the 7-Zip context menu: Open the 7-Zip File Manager. Click Tools > Options.
In the “7-Zip” tab, check “Integrate into shell menu”.
Click “OK” to save the settings.
3. Use Registry Editor: Press Win + R, type regedit and press Enter.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell.
Right-click on the shell, select “New” > “Item” and name it 7-Zip.
Under the 7-Zip item, create a new item named command.
In the command item, set the default value to “C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe” “%1” (assuming 7-Zip is installed in the default path).Sorry I have no better solution:
