Microsoft finally announced one of the most important features that arrive in its operating system, Windows, which arrives for the first time since the inception of the system 28 years ago, which is the ability to play compressed files in RAR format without the need for external programs.
Reading compressed files is one of the most important capabilities in the operating system, which despite its simplicity is very impressive for users, and Microsoft has never supported it in any of the Windows versions over the past years.
During its participation in the Microsoft exhibition Build 2023intended for developers, Microsoft announced a number of features and updates that will arrive for the Windows 11 operating system, and among them and the most interesting is finally support for compressed files in the RAR format and its family.
Before going into the details, it should be noted that Microsoft previously supported Zip files and although they were useful, they were not enough for users due to the presence of dozens of other compressed file formats, which are most likely downloaded from the Internet and are more widespread compared to Zip.
If you are an old user of the Windows system, you must have struggled with opening compressed files, especially following a new installation of the system, where the software packages are in compressed form, and in order to install them you need to decompress, and one of the programs may not exist to run RAR files, the most famous of which is WinRAR What ends up being completely paralyzed from using the computer, or wasting hours to provide a decompression program, at the very least.
Now, 28 years following the launch of the first Windows system, Microsoft has officially announced that the next update to Windows 11 will support playing files in RAR format and others without the need for external programs.
The company stated that the files that will be supported will be; Tar, 7-zip, rar, gz and all kinds of Rar and more.
