    Long file path issues in Windows 11 Pro with Microsoft VS Code and File Explorer

    This issue is not a programming issue. It's a Files/Folder and storage issue with windows 11. I can't enable long path name support in Windows 11 either. I used to be able to open/save files with really deep folder names. (more than 260 bytes). But with Windows 11 I have tried enabling long path name support with the registry setting and the group policy setting without success. (yes, I tried rebooting a few times)

    What's the scoop with Windows 11? Why does enabling the long path support in windows 11 not work?

    File name too long

    I run Win10:


    enable long file name support in windows 11 [​IMG]


    And a browser save on the HDD disk, with filename counting 255 letters. And I cannot rename it, move it, or delete it. And I have enabled in the group policy Win32 long file names: Enable or Disable Win32 Long Paths in Windows 10

    How can I get rid of it ?

    Regards,
    Flaviu.

    enable long file name support in windows 11

    Is it risky to enable long file paths on Windows 10?

    Windows 10 has an option to allow for longer file paths (background). Is it risky to enable this option?

    I ask because I've heard mixed comments about how there can be bugs related to long file names.

    From a recent (2016-07-30) MSDN blog post:

    • A comment:

    • The response:


    Another question on SuperUser (2016-08-17) seems to suggest that there're known issues.

    Question: Does enabling long file paths increase the risk of file loss or corruption on Windows 10?
