I cannot create a folder that is suppose to have the same name as an extensionsless file that already is present in the same path

You can experience this by following these steps:

#1] Navigate to e.g.

#2] Create a file named
of whatever format


#3] Remove extension from this file


#4] Attempt to create folder named


What you should get is a pop-up message saying

C:\test
Cannot create a file when that file already exists

This is happening to me both in Build 912 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 901 32-bit Public Installed on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64 [10.0.19042]

I think it's not a FC bug, same result in Windows Explorer and all other file managers.

I think that you are correct

Because this is still happening to me in Build 946 64-bit Donor Portable on Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 x64 (19044.6691) and also when using other file managers - plus I remember having researched this issue also a couple of weeks before when writing some unrelated script - i.e. Windows will not allow user to have a folder and file named in the same way, be it e.g.
or
and located in the same parent folder


Ergo: no bug
