Error 0x80010135: Path too long

Try renaming the zip file to a shortest name and extract again.

eg 123456789_abcdefg_temp.zip to temp.zip

Thanks Mathi_C - This fixed the error for me.

On closer inspection of the .zip file I was trying to extract, it contained several parent/child folders and obviously was increasing the path of the file that was erroring to an unacceptable level.

The default "Extract to" option was erring out.

I tried the 7-zip and it worked.

Seemed to work like a charm... who would have thought...

Nice work beating Microsoft Support ;)
