7Zip

Since v1809-17763-55 7Zip no longer appears in my right click context
menu. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail, it does not
show in 'open with' or 'how to open this file'. the
version is 18.05.
It is installed properly and works OK if you run it and point it to the
file you want to extract, Any Ideas as to what may be the problem or how
to get it back in the right click context menu?
Thanks for any pointers or advice.

IZarc has stayed working for me.

Thanks very much VanguardLH, Ya done good, It was the #2 fix in the
Article you pointed me at. I indeed did have the 32 bit 7-Zip installed,
I deleted it and downloaded and installed the 64 bit 18.05 version and
that solved the problem, its all good now :-)

Just for general info How-To-Geek has a registry hack that will allow you
to add any program to the right click context menu. Just search for
'context menu'. They also have a hack for adding to the shift-click special
context menu.

Yes I found that one while searching for answers to my problem,
it is called Easy context Menu 1.6, works great I installed one program
so far but haven't had time to explore it fully, you can also remove
nuisance entries which you don't use, which I aim to do.

That's a bug in the latest Win10 update. It can
be avoided by *not* using Windows built in ZIP
handling.
