Hello guys, I just bought this new PC that I usually use it for gaming and some programming. Today I was checking my hard disk, and I found this folder in C:\ root. The folder's name is a string of letters and numbers, and its interior contains only .CAB files. Does anyone know what is this? I tried inserting an image, but the uploading always failed for some reason.

These. CAB files are a type of archive format used by Microsoft to store compressed program files, often used for installations and updates.
These files are likely related to Windows updates or installations and can be safely deleted if you no longer need them. If you're curious about their contents, you can double-click on a . CAB file to view their contents in Windows File Explorer.
Please feel free to reach out if you require any additional assistance. I'm here to help
