AI isn’t the only game in town, as this is also a traditional OS update with the usual quality of life improvements. There’s finally native support for RAR and 7-zip file formats, so you can get rid of those third-party archiving apps.

LMAO It just hit me that Windows STILL did not have native ways to do this. We’ve been using .rar for 30 years and for this whole time, Microsoft never released their own utility for opening zips until now. Wow.

EDIT: Mb. I meant to say the .rar files. I have corrected my comment. It’s still ridiculous, though.

You’ve been able to open zips in windows for a long time. This is for formats like .rar and .7z
