Windows 10: How can I fix Error 0x80010135: Path too long

On Windows 10 64 Home - When I right click on a zipped file and choose Extract All... I sometimes get Error 0x80010135: Path too long. How can I fix Error 0x80010135: Path too long when opening a zip file? I am unable to "shorten the name" until it is unzipped so that does not seem to be an option I can use to fix this problem. My only choices are Try Again, Skip, Cancel - all of which will result in me losing data from the zip file.

If I need to use another application to unzip the file, could you provide a link that you know is safe?

I'm not particularly "computer literate", so I would need specific steps.

Thank you for your help

:)

Error 0x80010135: path to long

hello Sigge

try these methods

1 – First of all rename the file to a short version. This will reduce the parent directory file name.

2- Now, copy and move the file to C: folder . The idea is, to try extracting the file to a root folder to make path size short.

3 – Now, extract your zip file in new location.

Method 2 – Alter windows 10 260 character limit

1 – search regedit in windows 10 taskbar search.

2 – now go to the location given below from left menu in registry editor.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

SYSTEM

CurrentControlSet

Control

FileSystem

Step 3 – Now, in the right side of registry editor, find an item named LongPathsEnabled. Right click on it.

4 – Now, selet modify and change the value from zero to 1 .

5– Finally, restart your windows 10 PC, for changes to come into effect.
