  1. LONG PATH ISSUE in Windows 10 File Explorer


    Hi,I'm sorry to write this.Half of the world suffers from it for many years:LONG PATH DOES NOT WORK IN Windows 10 File Explorer"Microsoft Windows has a MAX_PATH limit of ~256 characters. If the length of the path and filename combined exceed ~256 characters you will be able to see the path/files via Windows/File Explorer, but may not be able to delete/move/rename these paths/files."My question: Is there any PC at Microsoft Corporation where enabling long path works properly? I guess there isn't. But it is a secret, isn't it?I have done these steps but the issue is still exist:1. Check if long

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Is it risky to enable long file paths on Windows 10?

    Windows 10 has an option to allow for longer file paths (background). Is it risky to enable this option?

    I ask because I've heard mixed comments about how there can be bugs related to long file names.

    From a recent (2016-07-30) MSDN blog post:

    • A comment:

    • The response:


    Another question on SuperUser (2016-08-17) seems to suggest that there're known issues.

    Question: Does enabling long file paths increase the risk of file loss or corruption on Windows 10?

    LONG PATH ISSUE in Windows 10 File Explorer

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    LONG PATH ISSUE in Windows 10 File Explorer wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
