Updating archive after an archived Word file was updated not always detected #202

Create a .7z with a test.txt and test.docx

My .txt default editor is Notepad++
My .docx default editor is Word Version 2602 (Build 19725.20170 Click-to-run) part of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise

Tested on Microsoft Windows 11 Education N (Version 10.0.26200 Build 26200):
This works as expected (does not matter if .txt editor is already open or not):

  1. Open .7z archive
  2. Open test.txt
  3. Modify it in Notepad++ and save it
  4. Close file and(!) editor
  5. Change is detected by .7z

This does also work as expected:

  1. But do NOT have Word already open(!)
  2. Open .7z archive
  3. Open test.docx
  4. Modify it in Word and save it
  5. Close file and(!) Word
  6. Change is detected by .7z

This does NOT work as expected:

  1. Have Word already open(!)
  2. Open .7z archive
  3. Open test.docx
  4. Modify it in Word and save it
  5. Close file and(!) Word
  6. Change is NOT detected by .7z

So changing a Word file from inside an opened archive is only detected when Word was not already open.
