I laugh when I see responses like this. tar is so discoverable and easy, you can install WSLv2 if you want to use it.

I laughed at your response too, because tar is part of Windows 11. See C:\Windows\System32\tar.exe

We don't usually browse System32 to see what programs Microsoft decided it should be part of the OS. Especially when Microsoft is not sure which Paint is the best.
