Is there a way to add a toolbar button in Windows 10 File Explorer for an application-specific "Extract" archive action that can handle more than ".zip" files ? preferably via 7Zip but Winrar or even other applications are fine too. I mean the toolbar with big icons for the File,Share,View and so on panels / ribbon which holds actions like Cut, Delete, New folder or otherwise to the quick access toolbar.

Options like "Extract all", "Extract to..." are also accepted.

Windows 10 already has this. If you highlight a .Zip file, you'll see a 'Compressed Folder Tools' tab on the ribbon bar which has an 'Extract all' option on the right.

  • Yes but this is limited to .zip files only

Most compression utilities add context menu entries that can do all you ask. Adding buttons to the Ribbon of Explorer is much harder (if at all possible).

I suggest using such a product and going instead via the context menu of Explorer. Bandizip free can add many commands to the context menu, and one can customize which ones to chose.
