Not Getting "Overwrite notification" when exporting using "File/Export/Export as..."
This only started happening recently and I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Whenever I export a file using the "Export as..." feature, I'll navigate to the location where it was previously exported and click the "Export" button. I used to get an overwrite notification asking if I wished to do so and I'd just click yes or no. Now, for some reason, that notification isn't triggering and Adobe Illustrator is just overwriting. I tried using Windows Explorer to copy and paste a file to the same location, and Windows "does" give the standard notification to confirm overwrite. It's only when I'm using Illustrator (specifically "File/Export/Export as..." with "Use Artboards" checked, that it's skipping that step.
It doesn't matter what format I'm exporting.
I created a 100 pt x 100 pt artboard. Export as JPG to desktop with settings outlined in the attachment. When I try to repeat the process, I should get an overwrite notification but I do not.. No notification. The process simply overwrites without question.
I'm on PC
Microsoft Windows 11 Professional Version 24H2
Illustrator version 29.8.2 (64 bit)

It feels like the reason is the same as in this report:
Illustrator won't replace existing PNG file; creates copy and adds "-01" to filename

Same behavior. Feels familiar...
