I understand it’s hard to move off of a trusted solution that has worked perfectly for so long, but there have been better alternatives for well over a decade now.
.rar is supported natively in windows now. But doesnt support password protected ones when i tried.
WinRAR still exists? I think it’s been a couple decades since I last used it.

Maybe some of you finally paid for it, this wouldn’t happen!
… Who is still using it in 2025, though, really?
