    What is the best way to remove filename characters limit?

    Question 1. What is the proper way to remove filename characters limit?

    Please tell me step by step, I will follow exactly to avoid any mistakes.

    I read about removing filename characters limit in Windows 10, it required changes to the registry and it seems some people mention having problems.

    One more question, I read this

    source How to remove 260 characters limit of the Windows 10 NTFS paths?

    Question 2. Does it mean after the character limit is removed, it is possible to enter unlimited characters in the filename, but the filename will still only show 260 characters?

    Thank you.

    Rogue Folder Overriding File Character Limit And Changing File Names

    Never heard of this but I love a good mystery.


    • Is the behavior the same in Safe Mode?
    • Are the filenames shortening all the way to 8.3 filenames?
    • Are they shortening to a consistent length?
    • Are they always breaking on a space? Have you tested continuous alpha-numeric characters?
    • Is Explorer set to show both Hidden ( H attribute ) and "SuperHidden" ( H + S ) files? Specifically wondering about a desktop.ini file. They can work all sorts of magic.
    • Is the folder designated as a Shell folder ( does its Properties dialog display a Location tab )?
    • Any 3rd-party backup/AV/"protection" software installed?
    • Have you searched the registry for any referenced to the folder name? When you deleted & re-creaetd the folder, did you use the same name or change it?
    • Have you moved one file at a time to ensure there's not one file with odd (perhaps non-displaying ) characters in its name?
