Realm Works writes a temporary version of the file first, then does whatever action you told Realm Works to do. Often this is telling Windows to open the file so that it gets opened in the application you've assigned in Explorer.

To make sure Realm Works can write the new file without stomping on any files that already exist it (likely) asks Windows for a unique file name, and Windows generates randomized file names when you do that.
