WINRAR – Right click + Extract here = Nothing happens?!
August 4th, 2016
I tried fixing the problem by downloading the newest version, but it still doesn’t respo. I searched for other topics about winrar, but every title was just “winrar?” or “help with winrar”, so I only opened two pages of search results a read all the topics, but none covered my issue.
Any help is most welcome, a thanks in advance!
Hmmm… I remember having a problem with winrar in the past, but I dunno if it was the same as yours or different. Anyway, have you tried uninstalling the current winrar, rebooting, cleaning the registry of any remaining winrar entries, rebooting again, reinstalling it? Or uninstalling, cleaning registry, installing in safe mode + testing in safe mode? I think you could try this safe mode options too, to see at least if it’s a per-user problem.
Try dragging to a desired destination?
install again does the trick! a try get the pro version off here mate
Try doing this:
1. Open winrar
2. Select options –> settings
3. Go to the “Integration” tab
4. Uer Shell intgration, click context menu button.
5. Turn off the extract here option
6. Click OK a close all wiows + Winrar
7. Repeat steps 1-6, but at step 5 turn on the extract here option
Don’t know if it will work to be honest – but try it
Which version of winrar are you using? Try installing another version for example Winrar 3.61…
look for an app called Extractnow.
does a bang up job at batch unraring
has a good idea, try removing a installing an older stable version.
This is 3.71 Corporate, no key or patch needed a it has over 25,000 d/l off RS so ya know it’s a good one!!

Sorry, thanks for the idea but it didn’t work. I followed every step, closed all wiows, but no result.
1. Open winrar
2. Select options --> settings
3. Go to the "Integration" tab
4. Uer Shell intgration, click context menu button.
5. Turn off the extract here option
6. Click OK a close all wiows + Winrar
7. Repeat steps 1-6, but at step 5 turn on the extract here option

Thanks for the idea, a it would probably work, but I want to avoid installing programs as much as I can. If I have no other options, I’d take this suggestion, but for now I’ll leave it like this.

Thanks, this seemed like a good idea ieed but I tried a it didn’t work either. I made sure I removed my original WinRar before installing. The point is, I still don’t have an easy solution (save for the batch opening, but I’ll leave that option open until there are no other ideas)

If anyone else has experience with this problem or knows a probably solution, any input would be much appreciated!
I just got winrar tonight a I’m having the same problem.
if the file is in only one .rar; just open it & drag the, drop it out… you get the file simply… if the files are interconnected, i have no idea.. coz, I also had this problem… a re-insalled it… now it works fine…
you on 7 ?
do you have full admin rights ?
duz the “extract to …..” function work ?
get 7-zip a see if that works
Extract here = Your default folder location in option menu
Don’t know if you tried this but try using an uninstaller (like Revo Uninstaller) to completely remove WinRAR a then try a reinstall

Another uninstaller you could try:
Your Uninstaller! Pro 7.0.2010.13 Final � Inc Genuine Serial

Extract here = Your default folder location in option menu
