Windows: File extensions are not displayed anymore
Question by Watcher1 | 2018-03-23 at 08:41
I reinstalled Windows on my computer and suddenly all endings of my files disappeared!
As it seems to me, the endings are still there, but apparently hidden or suppressed. Strangely, some endings are still displayed (for example, the extension DLL), others are no longer visible (for example, TXT, JPG, BMP, AVI, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX or HTM).
What can I do to display each file extension of every file again?

By default, Windows hides the file extensions of all "known" file types. You can change this behavior in your Folder Options. This is how you can proceed:
If the option has been removed, all file extensions should be displayed correctly again.
