I agree, but I've tried but cannot find a way to open it?0

Double click it
Alternatively , right click it and "extract files"
Or, download and use 7-zip

Edit : the trouble you're having may be email client/browser related.
If the above doesnt work, then save the attachment first, then use it from the saved location

I'd be a bit concerned that if Win 10 can't open it then it may not be a zip file at all, in which case you're probably better off not opening it.0

^^ seconded ..
One of the many ways to get unwitting users to double click exe files is to give them a winzip "clamp" icon0
