Hello,

Normally, that is a sign the the archive itself is corrupted, or there was a n issue during download. You could also try moving it to another folder, then try to expand it.

-Where are the ZIP archives being downloaded from?
-Does the issue happen on all or some ZIP files?
-What size are the archives?

Hi,

Let us know if moving them helps.

Also, feel free to post a link (if it is publicly accessible) and we'd be happy to try downloading and expanding them as well.
