    Windows hides common file extensions by default, and periods are valid in file names.

    (folder settings -> view -> ‘hide extensions for known file types’)

    When file extensions are hidden, anything you type in a file name, including periods, becomes the file name, and the extension is added on to it at the end.

    Example:

    File extensions hidden:

    Idiocracy.2006

    Not hidden

    Idiocracy.2006.mp4
