Stopping unzipping files from jumping to that window space

I use Mission Space a lot across my macbookpro & a second monitor. But I've got a drive full of zipped files I need to unzip - but I need this to happen in the background while I work in other programs. But as each file finishes unzipping, it keeps jumping back to the open Finder window (space 2) to show this is done, which of course is super frustrating as I might be entering data or typing out something only to realize the screen/space is no longer on the program's window I'm working on (space 1 or 3). I'm pretty sure there was something I needed to disable to keep it from constantly jumping to it. I've disabled "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" but that's not working as planned. Am I blanking on finding this setting or does Monterey 12.6.1 not have it?

I think I found my answer. Archive Utility was hidden from me but once I got the Mac to think longer about unzipping a larger file, I was able to find the preferences for Archive Utility and clicked off "Reveal expanded items in Finder". I just didn't know how to word this to search for it.
