Microsoft Windows 11 23H2 was launched on September 26. Microsoft has brought support for native RAR and 7-zip files to the system in this update.

A Microsoft spokesperson recently told the foreign media bleepingcomputer that Windows 11 already supports .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.zst, .tar.xz, .tgz, . tbz2, .tzst, .txz, and other compression formats, but currently does not support password-encrypted compressed files.

A Microsoft spokesperson claimed that with the help of the open source libarchive project, Windows 11 is expected to add compression formats such as LZH, LZH and XAR in the future.

Note: libarchive is an open source C library designed to provide reading and writing support for various compression formats. The main advantage of libarchive is cross-platform support, including Linux, Windows, macOS and other operating systems.
