Microsoft excel official site. Windows zip file associations are used to determine how Windows handles the opening of zip files. By default Windows can natively open zip files using Windows explorer. However, there are many software apps available that can also open zip files such as Bitser, 7-zip, WinRAR, Zipware and they may take over as the default program associated with opening zip files. If these applications are then later uninstalled the .zip file extension may be associated to a program that doesn't exist and hence fail to open correctly on your computer.
