  <file value="Logs\" />
  <appendToFile value="true" />
  <datePattern value="dd.MM.yyyy'.txt'" />
  <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
  <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
  <maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
  <staticLogFileName value="false" />
  <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

If you dont insert .txt with datePattern which is <datePattern value="dd.MM.yyyy" /> then log4net append txt.1 and so on with the file name. 

<log4net>
<root>
  <level value="DEBUG" />
  <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</root>
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
  <file value="Logs\" />
  <appendToFile value="true" />
  <datePattern value="dd.MM.yyyy" />
  <rollingStyle value="Date" />
  <PreserveLogFileNameExtension value="true" />
  <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
  <maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
  <staticLogFileName value="false" />
  <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
  <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,fff}  - %m%n" />
  </layout>
</appender>
