    Windows 10 1803 - File explorer path limit 260


    Hello!


    Would there be a way to increase the length that file explorer to display more than 260 length path.


    I have changed the registry to do MAX File Path, but I cannot get file explorer to let me add folders past this limit.

    :)

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

    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.

    Path Limit

    Hi,

    This error appears when the name of the file/path names exceeds the 260 character limit . We suggest changing the name of the file/path as an initial troubleshooting in resolving the issue.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
