Windows 10: Win 10 File Manager NO Extensions

This evening I attempted to download some @live.com emails to a folder on my pc, while attempting to do this, I looked at my file manager to see what was downloaded. I noticed there were no file extensions on any of the documents i.e. .doc, dox. It's gone with v. win 10. I clicked to view details, not there.It would be extremely nice if MSFT stopped "attempting" to re-invent the wheel and just added new features and leave the previous options ALONE.So now my question is, when will MSFT come up with the next win v. so we can hope, pray and cross our legs and fingers that you got it right vs. te
