Windows 10: How, if at all, am I able to change one particular long file name that refuses to change?

I have a certain wma file whose name is too long for the file to play. I had the same length problem with quite a few of the other files in this folder, but I was able to change them with no problem and they all play just fine. I can change the name of this particular file using the details tab in properties, but not in the general tab. Every time I try to edit it, it just reverts back to the original name. I don't get an error message when I try to change the name, it just doesn't change. Neither of my media players will play it. Cyberlink Power DVD21 just goes back to its sign on screen when

If you desire a name change please do the following:

• Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
• Make sure you have a good reason.
• Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
• Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

I agree with most people. Mod assisted name changes only.
