This violates default Windows behavior. Windows does not normally allow a user to create, rename, or open a folder with a period at the end of it. Still, Everything does allow for it - causing an accessibility error if opened. NTFS can support this, but the Windows shell and user interfaces do not support such names.
This error is easy to reproduce: Try to create or rename any Windows folder with a period at the end of it on the desktop or using File Explorer - you can't do it! Now try to rename a folder found in the results pane of Everything and add a period to the end of it, it allows for it! - but now the folder cannot be accessed with Windows Explorer!
Hopefully an easy fix, David...
