Colons are not allowed in file names on windows file systems (NTFS,…). It is absolutely necessary to replace them. It’s not about ASCII characters.

I was dealing with this exact same problem on windows I kept getting underscores in places where I didn’t want them to be. my solution is very simple, first go onto google and search fullwidth colon. it looks just like a normal colon but windows accepts it in their file naming rules.
