Did you choose "All Files (*.*)" from the File type dropdown when saving the file? I had to ask, cause I've experienced Notepad saving test.html as test.html.txt. Unless the File type was *.*, Notepad adds .txt extension no matter whether you had already specified a file extension. Additional tips (quoted from) https://stackoverflow.com/a/7646554 "Just put some double quotes around your filename, and Notepad will save it without adding .txt. Select "All Files" in the file content box will stop Notepad adding .txt, too." (Edited)

Could you please post your code here, state what browser you are using, and describe what output you are getting (just a white screen in browser, or some sort of an error)?

My suggest, you can use visual studio code and add live server so you can see changing code when you writing meanwhile

AJ I don't know how it's like in Windows 10, I experienced such funny events from Windows XP to Windows 7. Always the same ...

You can save any html file....jus put .html at the end of title page eg.. Sololearn.html always put html at the end and dont forget the dot ( . ) 👍
