File name changes not recognized by Vegas pro 19

I have never seen anything like this ever.  I have files straight out of my camera  with names like "006. 007, 008 etc". I then load them into Vegas but then decide I want to change the names to better reflect what the video is about.  So I close Vegas, change the names in the windows environment. Then I go back to Vegas 19 and for unknown reason it still shows the numbers and not the new file names.  I check back in the windows environment and confirm that I actually did change the files names. So Windows 10 recognizes the change but Vegas 10 does not. Also on my computer is Vegas 16.  I try this same procedure with 16 and it recognizes the change. I tried an entire new project with 19 as well as reboot the computer. How do I get Vegas pro to recognize the new file names?

The most reliable way and the most courteous to applications like Vegas Pro is to change the file names within Project Media. The side car file names get changed at the same time.
