On Linux, I have large archives (from 500 MB and above) extracted in a couple of seconds, on Windows it can take up to 2 hours.

Is it possible to achieve the same extraction speed on Windows? if so, how?

Use 7-zip instead of standard zip folders.

Depends on the contents of the archive, the method of archiving, and the characteristics of the computer - memory, processor, disk.
A banal change in the compression ratio or a change in the archiving algorithm can speed up or slow down the process of extracting an archive by an order of magnitude.
Also the contents of the archive - if there are large files, then a modern HDD will save them at a speed of about 100-150mb / s
. And if there are small ones, then the speed will be about 1mb / s maximum.

Perhaps the antivirus is slowing down the process.

500 MB archive is extracted for more than an hour?? Very interesting ... Throw off the contents of the
HDD archive checked?
