Windows 11 File Explorer not showing executable file extension (exe).
Windows 11 Pro 23H2 build 22631.3880
My File Explorer isn't showing executable file extensions; it lists a program's name minus the "exe" suffix, while the extensions of every other file type are displayed.
I already have 'View->File name extensions' checked, and have confirmed that hide extensions for known file types is unchecked in Explorer Properties for all folders.
I've run "sfc /SCANNOW" and Windows Defender without issue. Booting into Safe Mode made no difference, either.

In File Explorer, check Show extensions, or fix the .exe association through the registry.
