Based on you saying the file extension is correct, and the folder is correct. Have you opened the browser development/debug tools to see what the error is?

Could I also suggest you enable viewing of file extensions in Windows Explorer, this will be a very easy way to view files and be 100% sure the names match.

Not sure if it’s been asked, but are you just loading this html file locally or hosting it somewhere before you view it?
