    Hi, latest 11 Insider builds now have additional archive extraction formats, eg, rar, tar, gz etc.
    On Windows, double clicking archives always inconvenience users instead of just extracting in place, waste our time by opening a dialogue asking where to extract to, or right click sub menu “extract here” option.

    So who knows, is it possible in Windows to configure the inbuilt extraction so that a double click will extract in place (extract here) bypassing all the dialogue box BS?

    seems to be a trick for 3rd party 7zip but I’m interested in Windows 11 built in archiving tool.
