To solve the problem, we must first understand it. In the context of archive extraction (handling .zip, .7z, or .rar files), error codes generally correspond to the exit status of the archiving library being used (in MO2’s case, this is usually a variation of 7-Zip or a similar extraction library).

Windows Defender is a common culprit.
