Hello,
I have an ISO file of over 4GB in a RAR folder, and I can’t extract it; a required volume error appears even though my PC is brand new and has plenty of space to extract it.
I have read in multiple places that it is WinRAR itself that blocks ISO files over 4GB, but even fiddling with the WinRAR settings, nothing works...
If you have a solution to my problem, please reply to me.

WinRAR assigns the .rar extension to ISO files even if they are not compressed (the ISO format is not a compression format but a copy format, in order to maintain the order of the files on the DVD of the movie, etc.)
You can go to WinRAR preferences and uncheck ISO
The file will then either be in ISO and will need to be burned as a disk image, read with a virtual drive (daemon tool) or VLC if it's a movie
or it remains in .rar and WinRAR will decompress it.
