IE and Edge on Win 10 DO actually work to download the files we're

Many, Many, Many users are still using older versions.
Many versions append ".TXT." to the filename on download.
It is beyond the understanding/ability of many Windows user to remove the ".TXT",
hence the recommendation to use a modern browser...

If you like, we can refer support questions to you ;-)


I would recommend that all users learn to handle simple things like fixing up the file suffix. It's basic computer literacy. If you can fly a glider and use a glide computer you can learn that. And it will help you in other parts of your modern life, since there are plenty of web sites that offer files with mangled suffixes. HTML masquerading as DOC or XLS, for example..
