If you have problems finding the file:

Open Explorer. You can do that by clicking a random folder. Alternatively, it should be in your taskbar as a folder icon.

On the left side of Explorer, there is a section that has shortcuts to folders. Downloads should be one of them.

If it isn't there, Go to C:\Users , click at your user, and then Downloads.

Alternatively, if you use Chrome:

Go into Downloads or press Ctrl+J.

The file is there. There is a button to open the folder it is in. If your file isn't in Downloads or if you cannot find Downloads, do this.

Finally:

Press Win+R, type "Downloads". It should open regardless of your OS's language.

If you have a more complex problem that is specific to 7-zip malfunctioning (like this https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45798/thread/b4c229fb/ ):

Move your file to Desktop or to C:\Users

Attempt to extract it.

Install a different version of 7-zip, newer is better

If the folder has a long name, rename it to something shorter

If it doesn't work, Open cmd as admin

type sfc /scannow (should take a few minutes or 10+ minutes)

then, in the same windows, type

chkdsk c: /r

Exit cmd and then restart your pc.

If there still is a problem:

Reinstall 7-zip or winrar to a short path like C:\Users or to C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32

if it doesn't work:

cmd

setx path "%path%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip"

Or:

Press Win+X

Click System

Go to the About window, click Advanced System Settings

Open Environment Variables.

On the System Variables part, find and click "Path"

Click "Edit"

add a semicolon and add in the path to the folder your zip program has and the path of the thing you wanna unzip (seperate them with a semicolon)

if the problem is still there, type in here
