My goto page for this sort of thing is:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file
which says:
“Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period.
Although the underlying file system may support such names,
the Windows shell and user interface does not. However, it is
acceptable to specify a period as the first character of a name.
For example, ".temp".”
