Step 1

Open File Explorer.

Select the View tab as shown below.

Step 3

Check the "File name extensions" check box to show file extensions.
Unchecking the box will then revert to having the file extensions not being shown as part of the filenames.

It will open the File Explorer Options control panel. Then select the View tab.

Unselect the "Hide extensions for known file types" check box to show file extensions as part of the filename.
Checking the box will then revert to hiding file extensions from the filenames.
