Windows 10: Impossible to rename a Onedrive filename, path too long error

Hi, when creating a new .txt file in my OneDrive storage via File Explorer application on Windows 11 23H2, I get this error: how can rename this file and create others in this folder?"Windows SecurityThese files can't be openedYour Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened."

Destination path too long after enable NTFS long path

Hi StavrosStavridis2,

Sorry to hear that. Will you be able to provide the steps that you already performed aside from modifying Long Paths in Local Group Policy and Registry? Have you somehow tried to perform some of the easier steps like finding a file that could have a very long
filename which may have caused this or something simple like renaming the root folder as describe in the article I sent? Thank you.

Regards,

Jay

 

Unable to rename folder or file in a long path folder (updated)

Hi Greg,

Thanks for suggesting Feedback Hub.

On the other hand, in my first post I posted step 1,2,3. Your links contains the same, but no more.

The issue is in File Explorer, that means I need solution in File Explorer, not in PowerShell.

To be more precise the issue is: I can't create new folder in a long path folder. Just now: I solved it half: I can copy a folder to a long path folder. That's fine but I cannot rename folder or file in a long path folder.

Regards

 

Filename is Randomly Highlighted while Renaming Files in OneDrive Synced Folders

Hi all,

I've been having this issue in windows 10 (version 21H1) when renaming a file that's synced to a OneDrive folder. Often times, I'll append a filename with a couple of characters to denote revisions. While I'm renaming the file, the entirety of the file gets highlighted, and as I add these few characters, the original filename gets wiped.

For example, attempting to change test.txt to test-1.txt ( | represents the cursor, bold green represents highlighted text:

• Start with: test.txt
  
• Rename file (press F2): test.txt
  
• Arrow right to move cursor to end of filename: test|.txt
  
• Start adding characters: test-|.txt
  
• Entire filename (sans extension) will be highlighted: test-.txt
  
• Before I can react, I add my next character, which replaces the "test-" with the next character: 1|.txt
  

This only happens once in a while, but when it does, it generally happens multiple times in a row. Again, it only seems to happen to OneDrive synced folders. I see this issue elsewhere online, but have seen no solutions that worked.

My OneDrive version is 2022, build 22.055.0313.0001 (64 bit)

Thanks!
