Does it support password protected archives yet?

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Nope, not yet

[–] hark@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nope, according to the File Explorer section under Highlights here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/october-31-2023-kb5031455-os-builds-22621-2506-and-22631-2506-preview-6513c5ec-c5a2-4aaf-97f5-44c13d29e0d4

"Note This features does not support password encrypted files."

Windows has been able to open ZipCrypto encrypted archives for a while now

If these are created in 7zip there is some secure setting that has to be disabled, otherwise Windows can't open them
