STL File format no longer downloading on windows 10

Hello! I'm not sure exactly what happened but all the files I now download off thingiverse that are .stl online, end-up in my downloads as 3D object files. My Cura does not recognize 3D objects files. Any ideas on what is causing this and a possible fix? Thanks!

Can you right click on the file, and view properties. Does it show .STL file extension? What does it show instead? Can you post a screenshot?
Thanks for getting back to me! I believe my problem has changed... I believe I was able to get the file to download in STL format as seen in the attached picture. However, when i click to open the file nothing happens. I then go into Cura and click to load model file with "All" file types as the search filter in my downloads and the recently downloaded file does not appear.
Not sure whats going on.
Try drag the STL file into the Cura window, that should work if it is really an STL file. Normally files from thingiverse are zip files that need to be extracted first.
So i re-downloaded the default cura that came with my A5S and now the files have gone back to downloading as object files. That said, i dragged and dropped the file into cura and it now loads! So i believe the issue is resolved. Thank you for the help! I subscribed on youtube
Have a great weekend!
