Hi Igor firstly many thanks for existence of 7-Zip !

I noticed that 7-Zip right after installing is under Win11 & 10 not visible under "Default apps" "Suggested apps" and "Open with". Consequently also sysadmins can't make it default app using standard DefaultAssociations XML in GPO.

All the needed registry entry's to fix this are in attached file.
please add that .reg to 7-Zip installer.
*The .reg file assumes install is to default location "C:\Program Files\7-Zip"

The attached file contains also

  • images how it looks before/after the reg file is inserted.
  • 2 example DefaultAssociations XML to show sysadmins what working parameters are

To see the result after the registry entry's the explorer needs to be restarted or user loggs in&out.
