Thanks and regards

Given the date of your post, I would have expected someone to respond to it before this -- but since that has not happened, I will take a shot at it ...
I just tried this same action using the details in the linked post and it worked fine: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/zip-and-unzip-files-8d28fa72-f2f9-712f-67df-f80cf89fd4e5
I did notice that the source folder can not be empty or this will fail.
