Hey there, long time lurker first time poster.
Freshly installed windows 11 25h2, had winrar installed but uninstalled it and got 7zip instead.
When I try to right-click-drag a rar file and choose "extract here" I get the error in the attached picture.
Any ideas on how I can fix it? double clicking it opens 7zip correctly and right clicking it to show "Shell Contect Menu..." works as usual.
Weird interaction with "Extract here..."

Is your Custom File Association for 7Zip correct?
Tools > Customize File Associations.

Quit XY
Open your XYplorer.ini file
Make sure that these lines look like this:
