Windows 10: Unable to save files under the correct file types if the filenames contain parentheses

Scenario1. I launch Notepad and type some text2. I click the tab called File3. I click the tab called Save as4. File explorer opens up5. In the box next to File name, I type Important note 2022.07.046. In the box next to Save as type, I ensure that it is Text documents *.txt7. I ensure that the encoding is UTF-88. I click the button called SaveI notice that the file extension is not there. Under normal circumstances, it should be txtThe problem also occurs when I try to save screenshots with file type png using Microsoft Paint and the file name contains parentheses.My OS build is 22000.778

Using File Explorer, HOW do I search for a filename containing a left-parenthesis "("

I understand that the parentheses "(" and ")" have special meaning in the File Explorer Search field, as do the asterisk "*" and question mark "?". There are also special condition words like "filename:", and "type:".

Is there a page that describes ALL of these and what they mean?

And more importantly for my question of needing to find a filename containing a parenthesis, what is the method of escape-character searching so that a parenthesis, or even a question mark could be searched for?

 

Searching for a string within a filename in File Explorer

I want to search a folder for filenames that contain the word "Committee". When in File Explorer, I type "Committee" into the Search field and hit enter. It finds (highlights in yellow) files that start with "Committee" but not the ones where "Committee"
is embedded in the file name. For example:

• "Committee-Mission-Roles-and-Responsibilities" = finds it and highlights "Committee" in yellow
• "19510701ListClubCommitteesReportDirectorsBW" = Lists this file but does not highlight "Committee" in yellow
• "20150526MinutesBoard" = Lists this file because the word "Committee" is in the text of the file.

Is there a way to do a search that lists only filenames that contain the word "Committee"? I don't want files listed if the word "Committee" is not part of the filename.

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
