Microsoft Vice President and Chief Product Officer Panos Panay announced in his blog that very soon Windows 11 will have built-in support for tar, 7-zip, rar, gz and other formats.
«We implement built-in support for additional archive formats including tar, 7-zip, rar, gz and many more using the open source libarchive project, Panos Panay said. — As a result, users will benefit from improved archive functionality in the Windows desktop environment. “. A Microsoft spokesperson said that support for the new formats will appear in a new test build of the OS later this week.
Adding native support for tar, 7-zip, rar, gz and other formats will be very useful for Windows 11 users, as they will no longer have to install third-party applications to work with these files.
