If you rename a file only changing the casing it doesn't update properly, you need to rename it to something else and back.
This is so userfriendly I have been stumped by it multiple times.

To my great surprise, this has been fixed. I don't know when, but I tried it on my Windows 10 VM and it just worked. Only took them 20 years or so :)
