Any Built-In Checksum utility for Windows 10 using CRC-32?

Solution 1

There is a way to get the CRC-32 on Windows (since Win 7):

Right-click the file(s) you wish to get the CRC-32 for and click Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.
Open the ZIP file using Windows Explorer, set the view to details.
Right-click on the detail header and select the CRC-32 column to be visible.
Resize columns so the CRC-32 is visible.
There you go!

Solution 2

7-Zip provides an additional Windows Explorer context menu entry from which checksums can be calculated:

Right-click the file you wish to get the CRC-32 for. A context menu appears.
Select the CRC SHA submenu entry.
Select any of the available algorithms: CRC-32, CRC-64, SHA-1 or SHA-256 to calculate the respective checksum, or select "*" to calculate all of them and additionally BLAKE2sp.

Is there any Built-In Checksum utility for Windows 10 using CRC-32? I checked different answers which are old and mention certUtil, but that does not support CRC-32 or CRC-64.

Update: I had also checked Is there a built-in checksum utility on Windows 7?, however, that's an old question and does not specifically asks for CRC-32 and Windows 10 may have support for it now. That's why asking this.

  There is no default utility to do this and as you mention certutil doesn't support CRC (certutiil -hashfile -?). CRC is also a very basic checksum and others might proof to be more reliable depending on what you're doing.

  Get-FileHash in powershell but does not support CRC

  @Seth yes I checked that, it also mentions that CRC-32 is not supported. but as I mentioned in question, it's old post so may be now there is support for that. I don't have much idea about checksum though.

  Is there a specific reason you're looking for CRC32? Why use that if you could use MD5 or SHA?

  so is that mean if the checksum value is given in CRC32 we can sum how verify it from MD5 or SHA as well? means we don't need to get CRC32 at all on windows? I don't have much idea about how does it work, I think for verifying given CRC32 checksum value, we have to get CRC32 value of a file and match with given value

Just tried this and it doesn't work (Windows 10)

What doesn't work? I retried this method and it works just as well as it did on win 7.

"CRC-32" is not a column I can enable to view in a .zip details tab on my Win10 machine

Can I ask which version of windows you have? I am using the enterprise edition so perhaps there are functional differences?

Works here on Windows 10 1909, not sure what you're doing guys. Of course if you have any archiver handling zip files instead of Explorer, you need to right-clic the file > Open with > Windows Explorer.

Thanks. But this is the same way as already given by @Taylor before

These options only exist if you have 7-Zip installed.
