This led to my 2014 review of Bandizip in which I expressed the opinion that it was probably the best file archiver for Windows at the time my opinion did not change until late 2019 when the company behind the product announced major changes coming to Bandizip 7. It was convenient to use, supported all the archive types that I required, and did not put any distractions on the screen while it was being used. The file archiver Bandizip was my go-to program on Windows for all file archive related operations for a long time.
