WinRAR has been updated and is now faster at decompressing files on Windows.
WinRAR has received a new update that significantly improves performance on Windows 11. The developers have released a new beta version that includes UI tweaks and speeds up the decompression steps. The changes are available in version 7.10, which is now available for download.
According to a post on the official website , WinRAR has released a new beta version that improves performance on Windows. The program has reduced the time required to access WinRAR items in the Windows 11 context menu, which means that all the file compression and decompression options provided by the tool will appear faster when you right-click.
WinRAR 7.10 beta 2 takes advantage of a new Windows update that improves File Explorer performance. Microsoft announced a few weeks ago that it would implement changes to reduce the latency of accessing the Windows 11 context menu, and the tech company has been working in recent months to address performance issues left by the 23H2 update that was released at the end of 2023.
Although WinRAR has never stopped developing, the last few months have been more active for its creators, Eugene Roshal and Alexander Roshal. The classic decompression software doesn’t want to be forgotten, especially after the announcement that Windows 11 will provide native support for RAR files.
