so I’m downloading laravel on windows through composer and it is giving me the following error
" Failed to download symfony/process from dist: The zip extension and unzip/7z commands are both missing, skipping."
I googled a bit and most of the answers were to use the command
" sudo apt-get install zip unzip php-zip ".
But I’m using windows and I can’t find any answer relating to the issue.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php#zip.installation.new.windows:
As of PHP 8.2.0, php_zip.dll DLL must be enabled in php.ini. Previously, this extension was built-in.
Had the same problem too (Windows). Fixed it by;
Open the php.ini file and uncomment
;extension=zip
toextension=zip
