Some users report that every time they try to open a Windows Explorer window, they are bothered by the error message “Please insert the last volume of the multivolume set and click OK to continue”. This problem is not limited to Windows 10, it is also frequently reported in Windows 8 and Windows 7.

Affected users report that the error appears only briefly after clicking OK. After examining the problem, it is clear that the error message indicates a corrupt .zip folder in the root folder of one of the currently active drives on your computer.

What are the reasons for the error message “Please insert the last disk of the multivolume set”?

If your USB drive or external device has already been inserted into your Mac system, this error is likely to occur. When used on a Mac, Mac OSX creates hidden files on disks formatted in FAT32. And of those files, it is the zip files on the drive that seem to cause the error message when the external device is plugged into a Windows PC.

In addition, the error message “Please insert the last volume of the multi-volume set” may appear if there is a problem with the USB controller on the computer.
