CON is a reserved word in the Windows and the underlying DOS system. It has been like that for the last 25 years, and before that, in the the predecessor of MS-DOS, called CP/M...

I would like to suggest you to try this also

Create a New folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder)
Once the new folder is created, right-click on it and select the option “Rename”.
Hold down the ALT key and type 0160 from the numeric keypad (ALT+0160) and release the ALT key.
Now, the folder name should go blank so that you can type any name of your choice such as “con”, “prn” “nul” etc. and press Enter. That’s it, you’re done!
