Installing .cab download from the Microsoft Update Catalog, which went into the Download Folder

I successfully downloaded an Intel Graphics Update from the  Microsoft Update Catalog, which automatically went into the "download file," as a long string of letters and numbers, which at the end says.cab, and has it the same size listed as was shown in the Microsoft Update Catalog.

From there I am stuck, and I do not know what to do next.

Can this Download, as it exists in the "download file," be installed in a Windows 10 PRO 64 bit system as it is now in the "download file?"

If so how?

I do not know what a .cab file is, and I am a "medium experienced" user.

If you use the new EDGE browser to find this update, it has two listings that are neither Intel or Microsoft sites so I am afraid to use them.

Can the Microsoft Update Catalog downloaded version be installed? If it can will you help me do it?

Thank you for your assistance.

    Or you can add ‘install .cab’ to the context menu if the above doesn’t work or is too difficult:
