Windows 10: Windows 10 File LongPathsEnabled Not Working

Hi,


I have recently revived files over the 256 file length limit of Window 10 on a USB FAT32 and wish to move them to my hard drive NFTS. I followed instruction from online forums to correct the issue. Changing file names will introduce instabilities in other files.


I was instructed to change in Registry Editor:


Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled = 1 hex


After restarting my computer as per the instructions I attempted to move the files again only to be met with the same issue. After consulting the forum I attempted to use the Group Policy Editor:


Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem > NTFS > Enable Win32 long paths = Enabled


After restarting again the file length remained an issue.


Any help that will enable me to keep the file names will be much appreciated.

Windows 10 Pro - version 2004

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
