The Windows 10 April 2018 Update Arrives Today: Here's Whats New
<https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/the-windows-10-april-2018-update-arrives-today-heres-whats-new/>

"Tar & Curl are now built in Windows programs
For those command line ninjas and Linux users, you will be happy to hear
that Windows 10 now comes with the Tar.exe and Curl.exe command line
tools. Tar is a popular *nix archiving program and Curl is a command
line tool that allows you to download files and perform other HTTP
related tasks.

Both of these programs are found in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, so
they will automatically be available from a command line prompt without
adding them to your PATH"

;-)

HTH,
