Windows 10 by default doesn’t support RAR files, so when you try to open one, nothing happens. To extract them, you need a third-party application. The easiest option is to use a dedicated archive tool.

It works with just a few clicks and keeps your files safe without altering details. The software runs on almost every Windows edition, including Windows 10, and a free demo is available for testing.
