PowerShell :: Tar command seems not working

[francesco1119]

I have recently discovered that Windows10 is supporting Tar and Curl.

I give it a try and it doesn't looks like it is working for me.

I run the command tar -tvf '.\Funziona - fullRAcsv_ak510_99999999.csv.tar' used to list all files inside a .tar and it has bee running for more than 10 minutes now.

the same goes when I try to deflate a tar.gz file with the command tar -xvzf .\fullRAcsv_ak510_99999999.csv.gz -C E:\CCIH\UPI, the terminal is looking at me without doing nothing.

But if I use the gzip library this way "E:\CCIH\UPI\gzip-1.3.12-1-bin\bin\gzip" -d E:\CCIH\UPI\*.gz --force it takes only 1 minute to deflate the whole thing.

Let me know if you need any other info
