Can't open or rename file (name is too long) WTF?

Solved!!!!!

Use 7zip.

open the 7zip file manager, go to the folder of the long name file, select the file, right click on it and select "rename".
erase some of the words of the file and press enter.

regards!!!!!

 

When renaming files, whole name is selected several times

I am trying to rename files on Windows 11, but I keep having the same problem. Whether I click on the rename button in the context menu or use F2, the whole file name starts selected (which is normal), but if I then use the arrow keys to move to the beginning or the end of the name, it will often reselect the entire name anyway. In this way, I end up overwriting file names that I only wanted to edit.
