As far as I remember, that was not allowed natively by WordPress, but you can use plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extra-file-types/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/mime-types-plus/ to add it.
I have not upgraded to WP 5.x. I am running the last 4.9 version.
I had to make a change to a PowerPoint presentation slideshow that has been on my website and working well for about 6 months. When I try to upload the revised ppsx file to the Media Library, I get this message: “Sorry this type file is not permitted for security reasons.”
I installed the plugin that was suggested (WP Extra File Types), but it didn’t help.
I contacted my hosting service (bluehost) and found that they permit the loading of .ppsx files.
Don’t know what else to do. I need to get the file uploaded again. Help please.

Installing the plugin doesn’t initially allow the file, you have to add the file type in the plugin’s settings.
Thanks for responding.
I did add the file type in the plugin’s settings.

If it still isn’t working, I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-extra-file-types/ so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
I asked for help on the plugin’s support forum. Thank you.
