I just did this on my desktop, while i did have to refresh the desktop (just simple F5), it did rename the file.

What did you maybe do that i didn't? /needinfo

That's so odd, I've always tried refresh as well and it still doesn't work. Only thing I can guess is are you using windows 11 maybe? I'm on windows 10

Attempted to reproduce on Windows 10 with PowerToys 0.76.2 and did not see this issue.

I attempted from desktop and from nested directories.

Is it possible that another application is preventing you from renaming the files?

I finally figured out what it is. It doesn’t work if youre using an external hard drive using the exFAT file system, but does work if using an NFTS file system. Thank you.
