You are very much welcome Matthew. Just be very careful next time on things that we download, not just on your XBOX but on your other devices as well. For now, I will mark this case as closed and resolved. If you need further assistance, feel free to post a new thread for it. Bye for now and have a nice day ahead.
Thank you so much i was very worried i had done something wrong to my xbox. Hope you have a nice day!
Hi Matthew,
This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you.
WinRAR is an application for Windows-based computers to open or extract compressed files. It won't do any damage to your XBOX since it doesn't recognize .exe files. https://www.win-rar.com/start.html?&L=0
I hope the information I provided will help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.
Thanks,
