    Path too long


    I downloaded a big file and I need to extract it, but some paths are too long.I worry that if I rename the file stuff won't work as intended, also there are a lot of long files so I don't really know what to do.

    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

    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?

    Explorer support for zip files with long file paths

    I suggest you try Long path tool is the very good program for easily delete, copy & rename long path files, error, unlock solution.
    Try it and solve your problem.
