Sync programs (Eg: OneDrive or Google Drive) cause file naming bug
There is a bug in Windows 10 when renaming files and I believe it is being caused by OneDrive or any other sync platform. This problem has been present for at least a year. It's difficult to describe...
This is a very known issue which Microsoft completely ignores.
"Howtogeek" site has a workaround, which helps sometimes.
Unfortunately I think you're correct, but from my research it looks like it's an issue with almost any File Syncing application (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive etc) and I simply must use a file syncing program as all my work files are hosted remotely and accessed by multiple computers.
It's a real shame Microsoft doesn't see file handling as a priority in its operating system.
