Windows 10: STILL no file paths longer than 260 characters in Windows Explorer, in 2023?

STILL no file paths longer than 260 characters in Windows Explorer, in 2023? It's a kind of Windows 3.0 problem and still exist! How to force Microsoft to fix it? https://superuser.com/questions/1783364/still-no-file-paths-longer-than-260-characters-in-win-explorer-in-2023<Changed to a discussion>

Extend NTFS 260 characters filename path limit

Hello,

I am trying to use the Windows 10 feature promoted
here and
here to extend the filename path limit beyond 260 characters (enable long paths in gpedit.msc, add LongPathsEnabled registry in regedit), but even if I follow the instructions to the letter, the limit still won't be removed.

Has anyone met this behaviour? What can I do to remove the limit?

I am using Windows 10 Pro, Version 1607.

 

file name must be less than 260 characters

The only painful progress towards resolving this issue in the last 2+ decades seems to be

this:





Maybe by 2036 or so Explorer will have finally wizened up to the fact that NTFS supports paths longer than 260 chars.

 

Does Windows 10 still have the default file path limit of 260 characters?
