This time, we will introduce the causes and solutions for when you see the message "This application may depend on other compressed files in this folder. To run the application correctly, we recommend extracting all files first." when running a file in Windows 11.
Causes and Solutions
For example, suppose you double-click the zip file downloaded on the following page to run it.
Windows 11 startup, shutdown, sign-in, and sign-out sounds are not playing
In Windows 11, zip files can be opened like folders, so if you double-click "WIndows11_SoundON_Inst.exe" as usual, a warning screen will appear.
In this state, the zip file is not unzipped (extracted).
Therefore, Windows warns that "If you run it as is, it may not work correctly."
To solve this,What is compression and decompression? Please refer to the instructions to unzip the zip file, or click "Extract All" in the warning above.
When you click "Extract All," the "Extract Compressed (ZIP format) Folder" screen will appear, so just click "Extract" at the bottom.
A folder with the same name as the zip file will be created in the same location as the zip file, the files will be extracted into it, and the folder will open automatically.
The files in this folder have already been unzipped (extracted), so no warning will be displayed even if you double-click them to run them.
