I downloaded a excel file from my gmail account attachment. When I downloaded it, the file showing without ".xlsx or .xls" extensions. I renamed it by adding ".xlsx" at the ending. and it works.

And when I downloaded the same file in other computer (which is of my colleague) it downloaded perfectly, i.e., with extension ".xlsx".

So is it a problem of my chrome or Microsoft Office or my Windows files or any other.

Please kindly help on this thing.

    Have you simply set your Windows/File Explorer view options to hide extensions?

  • Yeah, I know that, But when I downloaded it showing as a file. Not as Excel file symbol. Today, I noticed that, only that attachment is downloading without extension. In other computer all computer works normal.

Judith's right; (File) Explorer can be set to hide extensions. In Explorer, click on View then look to the right; is Hide File Extensions checked?

enter image description here

If so, uncheck it.

Now that file will be named whatever.xlsx.xlsx
