Why can’t I zip a file Windows 10?

For many Windows 10 users, this seems to be the fix: Right-click the “Start” button and open “File Explorer“. Select the “View” menu and check “Hidden Items” to show hidden files and folders. Navigate to “This PC” > “OS C:” > “Users” > “yourusername” > “AppData” > “Roaming” > “Microsoft” > “Windows” > “SendTo“
